SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — A car crashed into a church at 551 Nevada Street in San Francisco around 1:20 p.m. Sunday, injuring at least seven people, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.
"[Seven] patients were evaluated on scene with what appears to be minor injuries," SFFD said. "[Three]
were transported to the hospital. This appears to be an unintentional incident as the driver of the car is associated with the address."
Emergency crews evacuated the building. The San Francisco Department of Building and Inspection and multiple ambulances were called to the church. The Department of Building and Inspection has since deemed the building safe.
