San Francisco, CA (September 24, 2025) – A late-night crash in the Portola neighborhood left at least one person injured on Tuesday. The incident occurred around 10:23 p.m. in the 400 block of Gaven St, a residential area just east of McLaren Park.
Authorities and medical crews responded quickly to the scene, where they discovered a damaged vehicle and at least one injured occupant. According to initial reports, the crash involved a single car, though it is not yet known if other vehicles were indirectly involved or if environmental factors contributed to the incident.
Emergency medical services provided on-site treatment for the injured party, who was later transported to a local hospital for further evaluation. The injuries were described as non-life-threatening, but significant enough to warrant advanced medical attention.
San Francisco Police Department officers secured the area while an investigation was launched to determine what caused the crash. No arrests or citations have been announced at this time. The intersection remained partially closed for a short time while the vehicle was removed and debris was cleared from the roadway.
Residents in the Portola district reported hearing the impact and expressed concern for speeding and traffic safety along Gaven St—a narrow, hilly route known for limited visibility in some stretches.
We hope for a quick and full recovery for all those affected.
