A speeding driver careened off a freeway off-ramp and crashed into a building in downtown San Francisco late Sunday, the California Highway Patrol said.
The woman driving the car was fortunately wearing a seatbelt, and was extricated from the badly damaged car before being taken to the hospital. She was the only one in the car and was in stable condition on Monday morning, CHP Officer Mark Andrews said.
The wreck happened shortly after 11 p.m. when a Toyota Corolla headed west on Interstate Highway 80 entered the Harrison Street off-ramp "at an unsafe speed," the CHP said.
The Toyota hit a wall on the north side of the exit as it entered the curve, and then was launched into a building next to the ramp, Andrews said.
After hitting the building, the car descended and came to rest on the shoulder of the ramp.
The second and third floors of the building were damaged in the crash. Information on whether anyone was inside wasn't available.
"This incident is a good reminder to ensure proper usage of a safety belt for any drivers and for all passengers," the CHP said on social media.
The crash is under investigation.
