A man was shot while driving, causing him to crash into a home in Worcester. As police ask for information, the woman inside the house says she’s counting her blessings she wasn’t hurt.
A 16-year-old has been charged in a shooting that led an injured driver to crash into a house in Worcester, Massachusetts last month.
The teen, who was not identified due to his age, faces charges of armed assault to murder, possession of a loaded firearm without a license to carry, and possession of ammunition without an FID card.
It stems from an incident on Paine Street on April 30. According to police, officers were called in after a car struck a house around 9 p.m. When they arrived they found the driver suffering a gunshot wound.
That man was taken to the hospital. More information on his condition was not released.

A woman who was sleeping at the front of the house when the crash happened was counting her blessings that she wasn't hurt Wednesday.
"I heard a pop, pop and a bang, bang! I just screamed and jumped out of bed," Lorrie Carlson told NBC10 Boston in a previous interview.
She said she went outside and saw the driver unconscious.
Other neighbors heard the sound of gunshots and saw the driver slumped over and bloodied.
