A car barreled through a guardrail on a dead-end street in San Francisco's Dolores Heights, flew down an embankment, knocked down a tree and landed upside down. It happened at 19th and Sanchez Streets around 7:20 p.m. on Saturday.

A neighbor described the scene to KPIX. "There was a woman pulling out a guy, all bloody, and the guy had a full face mask, all black, dressed in black. She was in black, red hair, yelling at them 'we have 3 minutes till the cops come, we have 3 minutes, hurry up!'" said Michael Perez who lives nearby. "There was another guy and there was another guy still stuck in the car and they were, like, 'just leave him, leave him!"
