One person was injured late Saturday afternoon in San Francisco after being trapped by a tree that toppled, likely a result of high winds.

The person was trapped beneath the tree only briefly before being able to crawl out. The injured person was taken to a hospital for treatment. 

The National Weather Service said early Saturday evening that San Francisco will likely experience winds gusting to 30 miles per hour for the remainder of the evening.
