Welcome to Keystone...
"Tempe Police and Phoenix Police have provided differing accounts on what happened in the leadup to the crash.
According to earlier Tempe Police statements, the man was shot in the head at an unknown location, and was attempting to drive himself to the hospital when he was involved in a crash with two other vehicles.
In a later statement provided by Phoenix Police officials, the man did suffer injuries, but they are not consistent with a gunshot wound."
