Your Commute
The dining scene in Hayes Valley got a little rough-and-tumble Friday night, as a car fleeing the scene of an accident on Oak and Webster smashed into Cafe Delle Stelle on Gough and Hayes. Fortunately, the car missed the front windows, but a bar from a street sign hit two pedestrians on the sidewalk, and three people were taken to the hospital with injuries as Delle Stelle employees and people from the restaurant next door extinguished the car fire that subsequently erupted. In the scene, no one managed to stop the two men who sprinted out of the car and fled the scene.
A San Mateo man is recovering after an accident on Sunday, when he was run over by his own car. The man had parked his van on the street, but after he got out of the car, it began to roll backwards. The man then tried to jump back in, but fell out, and the van ran over his leg. The van rolled back about 70 feet and stopped after hitting a 1994 Mercedes. Emergency brake!
ABC 7 is reporting that at noon today, a MUNI bus will go out of control in Russian Hill after a bus driver has some kind of medical-related blackout. Watch out around Hyde and Leavenworth in a few hours! (We assume this happened like yesterday or something; we in particular are really in no position to mock other people's typos.)
And 30-minute BART delays this morning -- say it along with us: Switching Problems.
