A 21-year-old faces felony charges that include gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated following a fatal rollover collision early Monday in the Ingleside neighborhood.
Two people were pronounced dead and four injured in the two-car crash at Grafton and Jules avenues after 1:20 a.m., according to a San Francisco Fire Department spokesperson.
The four were hospitalized — some with serious injuries — the spokesperson said by email. The crash caused significant damage to both vehicles.
Jayden Elliott Patrick of Santa Rosa was arrested by the San Francisco Police Department, police told The Standard on Wednesday.
The victims have not been identified by the medical examiner’s office, but police said that two women in one car were killed. Three of four adults in the other car were hospitalized, including one with life-threatening injuries.
Patrick has been jailed and faces 17 charges, including two counts each of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, DUI causing injury, and vehicular manslaughter, as well as charges related to reckless driving, according to Sheriff’s Department records.
In a statement, the district attorney’s office said it was charging Patrick with two counts of murder, one count of reckless driving and three counts of diving under the influence of alcohol with added injury allegations. The office added that it would move to keep Patrick detained at his arraignment Wednesday afternoon.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins offered her condolences to the victims and their families, saying “my office will do everything in our power to fight for justice in the courtroom for all victims here. This case is a tragic reminder that drinking, driving and speeding are a lethal combination with devastating impacts.”
