ADS crash report in San Francisco, CA involving a TOYOTA Highlander (NHTSA SGO 30610-13121)

A Zoox vehicle (Vehicle 1) operating in autonomous mode was westbound on [XXX], preparing to make an unprotected left turn onto [XXX] in San Francisco. As the Zoox vehicle slowed approaching the intersection at [XXX], a left-turning vehicle in the oncoming lane accelerated abruptly. The Zoox vehicle braked in response to the oncoming vehicle, and was rear ended by a passenger car (Vehicle 2) traveling directly behind. The Zoox vehicle operator then disengaged from autonomy, and shortly after, continued through the intersection along [XXX] and pulled over to exchange information. The Zoox vehicle sustained minor damage to the rear end, and Vehicle 2 appears to have sustained moderate damage to the left front area and hood. The Zoox vehicle operator and the software operator, seated in the front passenger seat, reported injuries after the collision. The police were not called.
