According to court records, on February 9, at approximately 3:02 p.m., a stolen vehicle was seen near the Stonestown Galleria allegedly driven by Ross on Winston Drive. Abrams was allegedly sitting in the passenger seat and an unknown third female passenger was sitting in the back seat. Officers with the San Francisco Police Department attempted to conduct a car stop but Ross allegedly did not stop and pull over. Allegedly she drove away at a high rate of speed and led officers on a pursuit where she weaved in and out of traffic, drove onto the Muni train tracks and eventually got on I-280 and exited at San Jose Avenue.
Allegedly, while evading officers Ross drove into a gas station on Mission Street and continued to drive recklessly on Mission Street. Allegedly, at 24th Street and Mission Street, she hit the passenger side mirror of a truck and kept going. Later she allegedly drove onto the sidewalk, crashed into a traffic light and kept going and hit another vehicle on the road as she continued to flee and evade police. She then allegedly drove into the opposite lane of traffic on the 3200 block of 24th Street to get around stopped traffic in the lane she was driving and then crashed into an outdoor parklet of a restaurant.
The parklet was destroyed and multiple people were injured. Allegedly, after the crash, Ross, Abrams and the third unknown female got out of the vehicle and ran away while multiple officers gave them commands to stop running. Authorities were able to arrest both Ross and Abrams. The SFPD is still investigating the case.
