Warning: Video shows a fatal crash.

The San Francisco Public Defender's Office released a video this morning showing the moments just before the death of Edwin Adams during an October police chase.

It shows an officer lunging at Adams seconds before he crashes his scooter, & dies.

Video confirms Mission Local's initial reporting: A police officer lunged at a fleeing suspect with a "football tackle," seconds before that man crashed his scooter and died.

The SFPD statement omitted any mention of officer contact with the suspect, merely stating he "collided with a street fixture."

Congressman-elect Scott Wiener won more areas of San Francisco overall.

But he also had one major advantage: The places he won by a wider margin had higher turnout, and landed him more votes.

Newly released video shows an SFPD officer lunged at a scooter-rider seconds before a fatal crash.

SFPD’s initial statement omitted officer involvement in the death. The district attorney's office is now investigating.
