NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. – Doctors determined a driver involved in a crash at a Northwest Miami-Dade intersection was shot.

The intersection at 119th Street and Northwest 27th Avenue was shut down after an 18-wheeler truck crashed into another car just before 2 a.m., Monday.

The smaller vehicle ended up wedged underneath the big rig at the crossroads of the street.

Video footage showed crews pulling the car out from under the semi-trailer.

The driver was trapped inside the mangled car. First responders worked to extricate him from the vehicle.

One person was transported to Jackson Trauma Center, but the doctors found a gunshot wound in his torso when he was examined.

Crews worked to clear the intersection using cranes to lift the tractor-trailer in order to free the crashed car.

By daybreak, both vehicles were towed away.

The victim is listed in critical condition as of Monday evening.

Police are investigating the cause of the collision and are attempting to determine the motive behind the shooting.

This incident caused closures near Gratigny Expressway, but roads have since been reopened.
