Female Pedestrian Pronounced Dead after Collision near 5th Street
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (October 6, 2023) – A pedestrian accident on Market Street left a woman hospitalized with serious injuries.
Around 9:31 p.m., officers were called to the intersection of 5th and Market Street in San Francisco.
Upon arrival, they discovered a female pedestrian trapped under an autonomous Cruise vehicle.
Based on the initial investigation, a self-driving vehicle hit the woman and ran her over. The San Francisco Dire Department reached out to Cruise autonomous vehicles in order to disable the car remotely.
Responding firefighters used hydraulic-powered tools to extricate the victim. Eventually, she was transported to SF General Hospital with multiple serious injuries.
At this time, the San Francisco Police Department is working to identify the driver controlling the vehicle.
