Three people were injured last night at 7:26pm in a traffic collision at Crossover and Park Presidio Drives in Golden Gate Park.

According to police, two drivers “lost control” of their vehicles before crashing into trees near the intersection. It's unclear what led to the crash, but the posted speed limit in the area is 35 miles per hour.

An adult male passenger who suffered serious injuries had to be extricated from one car. After an extensive effort, first responders rescued him from the vehicle, determined he received life-threatening injuries, and transported him to a trauma center.

Both drivers were also taken to a hospital for treatment.

The incident was the second injury collusion yesterday to occur near Golden Gate Park; in the morning, a head-on crash near Kezar and JFK Drives sent multiple victims to a hospital for treatment.
