Ten-car crash on Highway 101 in San Francisco possibly caused by fleeing suspect
A 10-car crash on Highway 101 in San Francisco may have been caused by a suspect fleeing in a stolen vehicle, the California Highway Patrol said on Tuesday.
Around 2:30 p.m., a 38-year-old woman had entered a business on the 200 block of Bayshore Boulevard and assaulted an employee, the CHP said.
She then stole a pickup truck, got onto Highway 101 northbound, and was involved in a 10-car crash near the Vermont off-ramp shortly after, the CHP said.
At least five people were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
The suspect tried to run from the scene, but a CHP officer detained her, the agency said.
The CPH identified her as a 38-year-old woman from El Sobrante and said they are looking into whether she was driving under the influence.
