Errant SoMa Driver Slams Into Police Car

An errant driver is facing allegations of assault with a deadly weapon, police say, after she tried to flee a San Francisco traffic stop.

Police say that the woman, whose age was described only as 20-30, was driving in the area of Jessie and Sixth Streets Saturday at around 10:30 p.m. when officers tried to pull her over.

According to the San Francisco Police Department, the woman instead "attempted to drive onto the curb" to evade officers, then "backed [her] vehicle into the police vehicle and sped off."

Officers with the SFPD pursued her, and she was "eventually pulled over and was arrested," they say.
