Elderly Man's 'Medical Emergency' Causes Multi-Car Mission Crash
It was 5:23 p.m. Sunday when a man the Chron describes as "elderly" drove into oncoming traffic at the intersection of 18th and Guerrero Streets.
At least four vehicles crashed as a result, ABC 7 reports. According to San Francisco Police Department spokesperson Officer Carlos Manfredi, the man had suffered an unspecified "medical emergency," likely the reason he drove into traffic in the first place.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, but Manfredi says police still don't know if the man's death was caused by the injuries he sustained in the crash or by the medical emergency, itself.
