Three people were injured, one severely, after two drivers passing through Golden Gate Park lost control and slammed into some nearby trees.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, the crash occurred at 7:26 p.m. Wednesday, near where Crossover Drive meets with Park Presidio Boulevard. Tweets from the San Francisco Fire Department, however, place the crash closer to the entrance of the park, at Lincoln Way and 19th Avenue (which becomes Crossover as it enters the park). Both agencies have been contacted by SFist to clarify the wreck's location, and we'll update when we hear back.

According to the SFPD, the drivers of two cars "lost control and crashed into trees." The wreck was so severe, the SFFD says, that one of the victims of the wreck required "extensive extrication" from the damaged vehicle, an operation that wasn't concluded until 10 p.m.

Both drivers and one passenger were transported to the hospital, police say. Two of the victims, a 17-year-old male and a 24-year-old man, underwent injuries police say were not life-threatening. The subject of the SFFD extrication effort, a male of unknown age, suffered life-threatening injuries and was last reported as in critical condition.

As of publication time, an update on his condition or the circumstances of the crash were not available.

Wednesday night's crash was the second major wreck in Golden Gate Park that day: According to Hoodline, a multi-vehicle collision on Kezar Drive near JFK Drive occurred at around 8:20 a.m. Wednesday.

In that case, the crash "was a collision between two northbound cars and one southbound car that crossed into the oncoming lane" after which "several people were transported to a hospital." Additional details on that crash were not available as of Thursday morning.
