Think of SFist as the old gossip lady of the village, not the portly town crier

This was the furthest thing from a hit and run accident that I've ever seen. The driver of the white SUV was standing on the sidewalk for quite some time. I saw him talking to the cops! And, the woman who was driving the tan SUV was quickly helped from her vehicle and sitting on the steps right next door! The drivers of both vehicles involved were talking to cops, firemen and paramedics for at least an hour (if not more) after the accident. Maybe whoever wrote this article doesn't know the meaning of hit and run!

Wsanders- Almost correct - 1/3 of the car accidents in CA involve an uninsured or under-insured driver, not necessarily a hit-and-run. As a matter of fact, I declined this coverage recently purchasing insurance for my motorcycle (don't look at me - it's black, not rouge), and had to sign a waiver acknowledging this due to CA law - pretty unsettling if you ask me.

I really hope the cops snare whoever did this, because it's a cymbol of the poor state of driving in this town. Is this thing on?

> Kids these days are taking the lessons of "Don't Get Caught" a little too far . Actually I think it's more like 15 or 20% of the population taking the lesson of "don't get deported" in the interest of self-preservation. I heard somewhere that 1/3 of the accidents in CA are hit and run.

I'm disappointed that Frank Chu apparently did not show up.

Rincon, the tactic is to run from the scene because fleeing a crime scene has lesser consequences, and has more plausible, though highly improbable, explanation, than, say, being under the influence of narcotics, alcohol or just plain stupidity. "I panicked and didn't know what to do so...." damned "take-no-responsibility" Americans. *shakes fist in the air*

It could be a really convoluted way to collect insurance money, and that's why he's smiling. And a "rouge" motorcycle - hilarious!

Is that Carole Migden in the second photo, hugging some dude with equally curly hair?

Driver ran off? Kids these days are taking the lessons of "Don't Get Caught" a little too far ... unless it wasn't his/her car and/or they were already high on something that may have impaired their driving even more than usual I'll make my obligatory comment - Cars (and SUVs) need to be slowed down in the downtown.

This speedometer goes to 11. Also: How awesome would it be if SFPD descriptions were made to conform to shades of the Revlon Color Wheel? *crackle* "Copy that, Adam-5 we have a suspect cruising north in a burnt rose Toyota Taur .... scratch that, mauve, repeat, mauve Toyota Taurus. Over? *crackle*

I can't stop laughing at this, sorry hairy dude. It's like the sort of thing that would happen to Inspector Clouseau if he was trying to be really quiet.

I am sure that, up in Heaven, John Cage enjoyed hearing that.

How is the a hit and run? It looks like that SUV hasn't run anywhere.

Jesus Christ! That must have made a noise. This is straight out of a cop buddy comedy. Were the drivers trying to avoid two blokes carrying a large pane of glass across the street? And the dude doing the hugging? Could he look any more like someone who works in a drum shop?

"Supposedly a rouge motorcycle was going the wrong way on Folsom St." All of this was caused by a red motorcycle huh? If someone said that picture was photoshopped I would believe them...
