Eddie Stiel, a witness, said he saw the SUV pursued by police on Mission Street. It knocked into a traffic light in front of the McDonald’s near the 24th St. BART station, he said, and then sideswiped a car “with an elderly couple inside” before continuing down 24th Street.

After a police pursuit ended with a suspect vehicle crashing into a parklet outside a popular Mission District sports bar Sunday afternoon, people are cleaning up and trying to make sense of the situation.
