In the early hours of Saturday in Nob Hill, a chaotic scene unfolded as a driver lost control, veering onto the sidewalk, demolishing scaffolding and a tree, before colliding with another vehicle. The incident occurred just before 2 a.m. at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Sacramento Street.
Responding to the emergency, firefighters employed the jaws of life to extricate three individuals trapped within the mangled vehicles. These victims were subsequently transported to a local hospital with injuries deemed serious by the San Francisco Fire Department, though they were not considered life-threatening, as per a police spokesperson.
In a startling turn of events, the driver responsible for the accident fled the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement officers. The San Francisco Police Department has yet to apprehend the suspect involved in this hit-and-run.
The dramatic rescue operation and the resulting debris scattered across the scene caught the attention of many, leading to a flurry of online posts and photographs. A local resident described being jolted awake by the noise of the collision, comparing it to the sound of "two goddamn shipping containers falling over or something."
Given the circumstances of this accident, it's a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of road safety and the potential for unforeseen injuries.
