Chicago police said a 56-year-old man was injured in a shooting and car crash in the city's East Garfield Park neighborhood early Wednesday morning.

Police said the man was inside a car in the 3800 block of West Harrison around 3:50 a.m. when he was approached by two men, one of which had a gun.

One of the men fired a shot at the victim, who drove away and then crashed into a light pole, police said. When paramedics found him, he had a gunshot wound to his neck.

The two suspects fled the scene.

Police said the man was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in critical condition.
