SAN FRANCISCO – A police pursuit of a reported stolen vehicle in San Francisco ended in a crash in the city’s Nob Hill neighborhood on Thursday afternoon.

“Officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop,” the SFPD said. “The suspect driver failed to yield, and a vehicle pursuit ensued.”

Two people in one of the vehicles that was crashed into suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were evaluated at the scene.
