SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Two San Francisco Police Department officers are charged with DUI for causing two separate collisions in the Bay Area.
SFPD officer Jason Isaac Hernandez is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday for a 2022 DUI crash. Prosecutors said the officer had a half-empty bottle of vodka in his car when he got lost driving around Hillsborough on December 15, 2022. The off-duty officer erroneously believed he was in Oakland when his car crashed into the back of a woman's car on Skyline Boulevard, San Mateo County prosecutors said.
The 31-year-old victim's car spun out of control from the impact, and she suffered major injuries. Two hours after the collision, Hernandez's blood alcohol content was still 0.20%, according to prosecutors. The officer told investigators that he was a "depressed alcoholic," the DA's office wrote.
Rookie SFPD officer Ryan Kwong is accused of driving drunk behind the wheel and causing a major crash in San Francisco on May 17, 2025.
Kwong graduated from the police academy and was sworn onto the force just 48 hours before his sedan slammed into a van, shoved it into a light post, and split the van open in the Sunset District.

Three victims in the van suffered injuries, including one with life-threatening injuries. Kwong, 28, of San Francisco, was arrested by his new SFPD co-workers on suspicion of felony DUI.
Prosecutors charged Kwong on Tuesday with DUI causing injury, reckless driving, and speeding. His blood alcohol content was greater than 0.15%, prosecutors said.
