“THE IMPACT HAPPENED IN A SPLIT SECOND… AND THE VIDEO HAS LEFT VIEWERS STUNNED.” Newly released footage from a San Francisco intersection is drawing widespread attention after capturing a violent collision involving a three-wheeled vehicle and an Audi. Witnesses say traffic was moving normally when the situation suddenly escalated, leaving bystanders scrambling to understand what had just happened. The video, now circulating online, shows how quickly an ordinary drive can turn into a life-altering incident. Investigators are reviewing the circumstances surrounding the crash, while viewers continue debating what may have led to the dramatic sequence of events. But one detail visible in the footage just moments before the collision is now becoming the focus of intense discussion, with many believing it could help explain how the crash unfolded.

This is the horrific moment an electric three-wheeler smashed into an Audi at a San Francisco intersection Wednesday, sending passengers flying.

The crash injured multiple people and wrecked both vehicles near the city’s Panhandle neighborhood, cops said.

“Motor vehicle accident with four people transported to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries at the intersection of Baker/Hayes St. Please avoid the area while SFPD does their investigation,” the San Francisco Fire Department wrote on X around noon Wednesday.

The video begins with two pedestrians walking towards the intersection before a black Audi comes into view.

The car appears to coast by before the Arcimoto FUV, a battery-operated three-wheeled ‘fun utility vehicle’ with two passengers, smashes into the side of it.

The impact sends the driver flying across the street, putting them into a roll before they come to a stop on the ground. The other passenger of the electric vehicle remained inside it.

As the passenger flew, the Audi’s airbags deployed and sent it into a spin, nearly colliding with the pedestrians.

The video ends as one of the pedestrians runs over in horror to check out the ejected passenger of the electric vehicle.

The Audi suffered heavy damage to its driver’s-side back door, while the electric vehicle received less damage from the incident.

Police taped off the scene with yellow tape, and multiple officers appeared to be on scene. It’s unclear what the passengers’ current conditions are.

The Arcimoto FUV first went on sale in 2019 and is known for being “fast, fun, and versatile beyond anything else on the market,” according to its manufacturer, Arcimoto.

The vehicles are classed as autocycles and are road legal in the state of California.
