One of two men who were stabbed and attempting to drive themselves to SF General's emergency room Friday night/Saturday morning has died from his injuries. He was 27 years old.
The crash happened around 12:25 a.m. on November 25 at the Walgreens on Potrero Avenue, less than two blocks away from Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. The SFPD says they responded to a report of a crash with injuries, and when they arrived on the scene they found a 27-year-old male and a 34-year-old male both suffering from stab wounds.
Police say that the men were attempting to drive themselves to the emergency room, but the driver was clearly impaired and or wounded enough that they crashed into the front door of the Walgreens before getting there.
Medics arrived on the scene and the men were taken to SF General, but the 27-year-old succumbed to his injuries.
KTVU's Henry Lee reported on the crash Monday, via footage posted to the Citizen app.
