A man was shot in the lower back while riding in a vehicle Wednesday night in the West Rogers Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

He was taken by a friend to Swedish Covenant Hospital and was transferred to Stroger Hospital where he is in good condition, police said.

Area North detectives are investigating.
