SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Two people were hospitalized following a high-speed crash involving multiple vehicles in San Francisco on Tuesday morning, authorities said.

A driver appeared to be having a medical emergency when they crashed into another driver just before 6:30 a.m. in the area of Richardson and Francisco streets, the San Francisco Police Department told Patch.
