1 Dead in San Francisco Multi-Vehicle Accident on 6th Street and Harrison Street
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (January 20, 2025) – Sunday night, a person died in a brutal 7-vehicle crash on 6th Street and Harrison Street.
The incident happened at 6:08 p.m. on 6th Street and Harrison Street.
Police reported that one person and a dog were killed in a multi-vehicle collision in San Francisco. The victim’s identity has not been released. The San Francisco Fire Department confirmed another person sustained life-threatening injuries and was rushed to the hospital. Six others involved in the crash are expected to recover, with some taken to the hospital and others evaluated and released at the scene.
At least seven occupied vehicles were involved, along with several unoccupied vehicles, according to firefighters.
A Waymo spokesperson stated that one of its vehicles was struck from behind in a collision caused by a high-speed vehicle.
Officers detained a possible suspect driver, who is receiving medical treatment at the hospital. The San Francisco Police Department is investigating whether this crash is connected to a series of hit-and-run incidents reported on northbound Interstate 280 shortly before.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) noted a four-vehicle hit-and-run crash on I-280 at the 6th Street offramp around 6:09 p.m., leaving two people with minor injuries. Witnesses described a black Tesla as the suspect vehicle in that incident.
Investigators have not yet determined whether DUI was a factor in either crash. The fire department anticipates the intersection will remain closed through the night as authorities work on the investigation.
Sweet Lawyers extends our condolences to the family and community of the victim.
