A Philadelphia woman’s Uber ride Wednesday evening took a dramatic turn as her driver was shot in the head, causing the vehicle to jump a curb and crash into a utility pole, police said.

The Philadelphia Police Department said the unidentified female passenger, 18, told detectives she heard gunshots and crouched down in the seat to avoid injury when her driver, 34, was struck in the head and subsequently crashed.

"He was driving the 18-year-old passenger when a bullet went into the Honda CR-V, through both headrests and struck him in the head," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. "That’s when the driver lost control, jumped the curb and the utility pole. That’s where it [the vehicle] came to rest."

"She’s extremely lucky because that bullet missed her by a matter of inches since she was in the back seat when the bullet came through the back window," Small added at the scene.

The driver is "not expected to survive" after he was hit with what is believed to be a stray bullet, according to the police. He was unresponsive when police arrived at the scene.

The passenger was still in the back seat, police said.

The vehicle crashed near the intersection of West Lehigh Avenue and North Broad Street.

Video taken at the scene shows the Honda’s hood partially wrapped around the pole. A bullet hole can also be seen in the black leather headrest of the front seat.

The vehicle had a red air freshener hanging on the rearview mirror and a hands-free phone device was mounted on the dashboard. The back window was smashed.

The woman said the driver was driving appropriately and at the speed limit when the gunshots rang out. She also told police the driver was not erratic and there was no road rage at the time of the shooting.

Police said there were likely six shots and they recovered six shells at the scene.

The CR-V had stickers for both Uber and Lyft on its front window. 

Authorities in Texas made a strange discovery Wednesday when they were called to a residence in Harris County after a "body" was discovered on the premises.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 5800 blk of Brunswick, near East Mt. Houston Road, Hirsch Road, and the Eastex Freeway, as a "deceased female was discovered." However, "upon closer inspection" the officials determined it was a sex doll.

"False call on this one-upon closer inspection, not a body," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said hours later.

The silicon sex doll was only wearing a pink bra and underwear at the time it was found, FOX 26 Houston reported. It was also dismembered.

The sheriff’s office initially said foul play was "suspected" but did not say if charges were filed in connection with the discovery.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris Couty Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Gonzalez, but a response was not immediately received.

The discovery comes as two other bodies were found in the past few days.

On Tuesday, officials discovered a deceased person in East Harris County, near Crosby Freeway.

"The deceased body of a person was discovered adjacent to the roadway. It appears the body has been there for several days," a statement from the sheriff’s office read.

On Saturday, officials discovered the body of an adult in the water at the Sheldon Lake State Park.

"The deceased person appears to be a Hispanic female, mid to late 20’s. There are possible signs of foul play," the sheriff’s office said.

It continued: "Due to the location of the body and the dense woods around it, it does not appear that the person would’ve floated from the site where yesterday’s SUV was found submerged in water. But, all possibilities will be explored."

Investigations into the discoveries remain ongoing.
