A rollover crash involving two vehicles in San Francisco’s Mission District left a tree blocking Portrero Avenue and disrupted traffic and Muni service late Monday morning near Zuckerberg General Hospital, fire officials said.
The crash was reported to the San Francisco Fire Department at 11:11 a.m. at Potrero Avenue and 23rd Street, according to the department. One vehicle flipped onto its roof after hitting a tree, which fell onto Potrero Avenue and blocked the roadway, SFFD said.
The driver of the overturned vehicle got out without help, fire officials said. The driver of the other vehicle was not injured, according to SFFD.
San Francisco police said officers responded around 11:22 a.m. and found two people involved in the collision. Paramedics responded to treat the parties for injuries, police said.
SFPD, SFMTA, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office and a city arborist were at the scene, according to SFFD. Drivers were asked to avoid the area while the crash was investigated and the roadway was cleared.
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency said inbound 9, 9R and 33 buses were being rerouted via 24th Street, Bryant Street, 22nd Street and Potrero Avenue.
Authorities did not immediately say whether the driver of the overturned vehicle was taken to a hospital.
