Hartford Police Lt. Paul Cicero told We-Ha.com that the driver of the vehicle, a 19-year-old male, died of gunshot wounds after being transported to an area hospital in critical condition.

West Hartford Police said that the crash followed a shooting, which appears to have originated in Hartford, and the Hartford Police Department is handling the investigation.
