SAN FRANCISCO -- Police in San Francisco on Wednesday confirmed two people were detained following a road-rage incident that included shots fired before a pursuit and crash, according to authorities.
Police said that on Wednesday afternoon at approximately 4:15 p.m., officers responded to the area of Lombard Street and Laguna Street after a report of shots fired. Arriving officers met with a victim, who said he had been involved in a road-rage incident with another vehicle. The victim said the incident resulted in a non-injury vehicle collision, after which the other driver exited their vehicle brandishing a gun before firing it and fleeing the scene.
Police were able to locate a vehicle matching the suspect vehicle description and attempted to stop the vehicle before the driver fled from officers. A brief police pursuit ensued before the vehicle stopped on Market Street near Front Street after losing control and colliding with other vehicles, ending up on its side. Police said two occupants were detained. The two detained individuals were also taken to the hospital for treatment, as was one person from the car they hit.
The crash closed part of Market Street for an extended period of time. SF Muni service was impacted considerably, with the F Market streetcar only providing service between Ferry Plaza and Beach/Jones during the closure. A number of buses also needed to be rerouted. The scene was cleared and regular SF Muni service restored by shortly before 6:30 p.m.
Officers remain on scene pursuing the active investigation of the incident. Anyone who has information regarding the incident is asked to call the SFPD Tip Line at 1-415-575-4444 or Text a Tip to TIP411 and begin the text message with SFPD. Tipsters may remain anonymous.
