A shooting and a car collision rattled nerves Tuesday morning near San Francisco’s bustling Union Square.
Gunfire erupted around 6:30 a.m. and a car, inside which the alleged shooting victim was traveling, sideswiped another vehicle, on the 700 block of O’Farrell Street, witnesses told NBC Bay Area.
John Mullen said he saw a car with its "front end and back end smashed." A woman was yelling, "He's shot, he's shot, he's shot," he recalled.
Another witness said the victim’s car ended up causing a crash with three other cars.
"They pulled out a gentleman" who "seemed unconscious," said Elliot Urbina. The man was taken to a hospital, but Urbina said he "couldn't tell what was going on."
Police cleared the vehicles around 9 a.m. and reopened the busy street.
The victim’s condition is not known at this time. No other injuries were reported.
