SAN FRANCISCO, San Francisco County, Calif., Nov. 7, 2026 — A three-vehicle crash on northbound US-101 near the Vermont Street off-ramp injured at least one person on Friday afternoon, November 6, and the driver believed responsible fled the scene, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported shortly before 2:25 p.m. in the northbound lanes near the Vermont Street off-ramp. A blue Honda Odyssey van was reportedly involved along with a black sedan and a white sedan. Units requested an ambulance for an injury shortly after the initial call came in, and the California Highway Patrol said the vehicle believed to have caused the crash left before officers arrived.
Investigators later upgraded the incident from a traffic collision with unknown injuries to a felony hit-and-run with injuries. At least one party was taken to San Francisco General Hospital. Officers at the scene asked hospital staff whether any patient had arrived with a head injury and had not been wearing a seatbelt, though it is not confirmed that the injury is connected to this crash. The extent of the injuries has not been released.
Two tow companies, Bay Bridge Towing and Nelsons Tow, responded to clear the vehicles, with one car taken to Ninth Street and Bryant Street, where officers planned to speak with a party. The CHP said the suspect vehicle in the hit-and-run was nowhere to be found at the scene. The investigation remains open, and no arrest has been announced.
We hope everyone who was hurt makes a full and speedy recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is distracted driving dangerous?
Taking eyes or attention off the road for even a few seconds reduces a driver's ability to react to sudden slowdowns, lane changes, or stopped traffic, raising the chance of a crash.
How do road and weather conditions affect crash risk?
Wet pavement, poor visibility, and heavy traffic volume can all increase stopping distances and reduce reaction time, making multi-vehicle crashes more likely on busy highway segments.
What should I do after being in a hit-and-run crash?
Move to a safe location if possible, call 911, and try to note details about the other vehicle, such as color, make, or partial plate number, for responding officers.
What should I do immediately after any car accident?
Check for injuries, call emergency services, exchange information with other involved drivers if they remain at the scene, and wait for law enforcement to arrive and document the crash.
