SAN FRANCISCO - Prosecutors have declined to file charges against two people arrested in connection with a dramatic crash in San Francisco, which involved a stolen vehicle that careened down a staircase and landed upside down.
According to the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, the charges have been discharged at this time, citing the need for further investigation and unavailability of witnesses.
The arrests took place on Tuesday, on suspicion that the two were allegedly involved in a chaotic crash that started as a carjacking at 19th and Dolores streets.

No injuries were reported after a car landed on its roof when it tumbled down a hill at the end of a dead-end street in San Francisco.
The victim, a man, told police that unknown suspects approached him while he was seated in his car and stole his car.
Shortly after the carjacking, the stolen vehicle smashed through a barrier on a dead-end street, flipping as it plummeted down a steep hill and staircase, eventually landing on its hood on Sanchez Street.
