A teen who was injured in the crash is now recovering in the hospital after police said a vehicle fleeing the scene of a shooting collided with his SUV in Newark on Tuesday night.
Son Nguyen spoke with Action News from his hospital bed Wednesday morning, recalling the moment he said he was coming from the gym and heard a bang at the moment of the collision.
"It rolls all the way over and I'm upright again, and my airbags were all deployed and there's glass everywhere," Nguyen said.
This all started with a shooting along the 3000 block of Stone Place in Newark, Delaware, around 7:15 p.m., police said.
That's where investigators said shots were fired, striking multiple cars at around.
New Castle County Police are investigating what led to the shots being fired, and believe the suspects lured the victims to an apartment complex.
"Right now, this seems to be a robbery. The victims came to the complex to purchase a gaming system," said Master Corporal Richard Chambers of the New Castle Co. Police Department.
No one was hit by gunfire, and police were quick to locate a 2015 Dodge Charger with four suspects inside. They believe at least one of the suspects fired shots during the robbery, then took off in the Charger.
"The officers were able to obtain info on a possible vehicle description and tag," said Chambers.
The suspects then led New Castle County police on a chase through Newark, according to officials.
Chopper 6 was also above that scene where it all ended on South Chapel Street near Route 72.
That's where the suspects crashed into Son Nguyen's Toyota Highlander SUV.
He describes what happened after he said the SUV rolled over, and he got out of the vehicle.
"I hear cops everywhere, and there's a helicopter," Nguyen said. "I lay on the grass and then I see my car and it's totaled, and I start crying."
The 18-year-old said he started driving two years ago and didn't expect to have been caught up in a situation like this.
Police said the four suspects, including two adults and two juveniles, were taken into custody but have not yet released additional details on their identities pending arraignments.
