Pedestrian Struck by Cable Car

KGO is reporting that a woman was struck by a cable car at the intersection of Broadway and Mason at around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday morning after she "darted" in front of it, according to witnesses. The cable car passengers said they tried to warn the woman to look out, as the operator was unable to stop the car in time.

The woman's condition is currently unknown. The operator has been put on customary non-driving status while he's being tested for drugs and alcohol use, but neither driver error nor equipment problems are believed to be the cause.
