Two men who may have been rushing to a hospital with stab wounds crashed a vehicle near 24th and Potrero streets early Saturday morning, leaving one of those men dead, police officials said today.
Both men were transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. One, a 27-year-old who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The deceased and the other man, 34, were apparently stabbed at another location, according to the San Francisco Police Department’s initial investigation, and crashed just blocks from San Francisco General Hospital at around 12:25 a.m. The two reportedly crashed into a business on the 1100 block of Potrero Avenue between 23rd and 24th streets.
The 34-year-old victim is in critical condition, according to the hospital.
The police are investigating the killing as a homicide.
