After the Audi driver, 50, pulled over, his car was rear-ended again and turned south onto 16th Street.
The Ford driver continued onto 16th Street and struck two pedestrians – a 41-year-old woman and a 44-year old man, who were on the west sidewalk, police said.
Paramedics transported the Ford driver and two pedestrians to a hospital. According to SDPD, the female pedestrian suffered “significant neurological damage,” and her condition “is life-threatening.”
