NBC Universal, Inc.

A driverless car and a construction vehicle were involved in a crash in San Francisco Thursday night, sources told NBC Bay Area.

The incident happened at around 9:20 p.m. on Gough Street near Geary.

According to sources, a Cruise car and a construction vehicle were driving southbound on Gough street near Geary, when the cruise car was in a middle lane when it tried to make a left turn on Starr King Way.

That's when the robotaxi crashed into a construction backhoe.

No one was in the Cruise car and the driver of the construction vehicle was not hurt.

NBC Bay Area reached out to Cruise and San Francisco police for more information, but did not hear back.

Last week, state regulators ordered Cruise to cut its operating fleet in half in the wake of recent crashes and traffic backups. Under the new guidelines, only 50 Cruise cars can operate during daytime hours.
