Well, that's kind of a cinematically creepy incident -- the SFPD are investigating an accident where it turned out a 43-year-old man who crashed his car into a house on 29th and Santiago in the Sunset had been shot. The collision started a small house fire which was quickly extinguished. Investigators have said that several shots were heard in the area at the time, and several other cars were hit with bullets as well.

Were you stuck in the horrible Bay Bridge traffic on Wednesday? The upper deck was snarled from 2:30 on, when a reckless driver in a stolen Toyota slammed into the back of a big rig filled with transporting gravel and entering the highway from the Treasure Island onramp. (That really is a terrible onramp). The big rig driver and car thief were uninjured, as was the back seat rider in the Toyota, but they needed the Jaws of Life to get out the person riding shotgun in the Toyota. The car thief was then arrested.

Well, this is an odd tale. A female SF institutional police sergeant has filed a lawsuit against the Kensington Police Dept. (Kensington is that fancy-pants town next to Berkeley) for refusing to believe she was an officer. The sergeant was pulled over for running a stop sign, and according to her, the Kensington police arrested her for wearing her police badge because they didn't believe she was an officer. They let her go after confirming her status, but not before the woman was forced to urinate on herself because they wouldn't let her go to the bathroom. However, the Kensington police say that the SF sergeant also says she never ran the stop sign, because as an officer, she wouldn't do something like that, then demanded to be arrested even though they said they could just let her go home and show them her sergeant documentation later. The Kensington PD provided no information about the allegations about the sergeant urinating on herself, though.
