Just outside the VidSF offices at PariSoma in SOMA, an SUV was in an accident, causing it to flip over.

The driver of an adorable SUV crashed into a row of puny parked cars in the city's Russian Hill hood early this morning. According to reports, the big beauty was heading "down a steep hill on northbound Taylor Street" before rolling over and smashing into the vehicles. The mammoth vehicle finally came to a stop on Union Street. While specifics on injuries are not yet available, "[o]fficers and medical units responded" to the scene. Anybody see what went down? Sounds jarring. We'll up date with more info as it comes in to us.

Service was disrupted after a cable car rammed into a sports utility vehicle that was double parked. (Tsk, tsk.) The "accident," which happened yesterday afternoon a little before 5 p.m., occurred on Hyde Street between North Point and Beach streets. The SUV's driver and a cable car passenger were treated for a minor boo-boos. Otherwise, no one else was seriously injured.

Oh, San Francisco. You amuse us so.

The man suspected of mowing people down during a hit-and-run spree in August 2006 , Omeed Aziz Popal, 30, pleaded not guilty today in San Francisco Superior Court. Really.

You get a very special blotter today. Alas.

Stepping out of his black Chevy Tahoe SUV, smashingly dressed, and fully aware that the media would bombard him beforehand, former glory Barry Bonds acted like a punk today after arriving at the U.S District Courthouse to make his plea this morning. Oh, and that plea of fibbing under oath to a federal grand jury regarding his steroids use? Not guilty. Ta-da. Basically, he came, said that he didn't do it, had a bond...

“I was shocked,” said Board of Supervisors Prez Aaron Peskin after being asked about Gavin Newsom's whereabouts this past weekend. Same here. Word is that Gavin was in Hawaii this past weekend, kicking in the sand and surf. Has senioritis kicked in already, Mayor? Not that you could've mopped up the oil singlehandedly, but still, you should have been here. We're a sensitive lot, us SF babies.

Oh No, Chris Kavanaugh! Berkeley's own Ed Jew, a Green Party member of the Berkeley rent board who was actually living (and litigating with his landlord) in Oakland, pled not guilty to three charges of voter fraud, one charge of perjury, and one of grand theft (for taking a stipend from the Berkeley rent board) yesterday. Kavanaugh spent Friday night living in the Santa Rita jail before being released on $30,000 bond, and will report back to court on Oct. 26. Kavanaugh has reportedly told other board members that he lives in Berkeley but his girlfriend lives in Oakland.

There was very little else for Londonist to be concerned with when the threat of a Tube strike became a very unpleasant reality. The inconvenience was extreme: there aren't many alternatives to the Tube in London despite the best efforts of the Londonist team to get everyone from A to B. Brighter news came in the form of the first ever female Yeoman Warder, or Beefeater as the position is more commonly known, and several smiles as well as lots of cash were raised by some plucky urban ironing. London is apparently full of lies and whales: one of these things is true. We leave that up to you to figure out.

We can't really get ourselves too worked up about the billboards or campaign finance allegations that Mark Leno's tossing around about his rival for the State Senate seat, Carole Migden (sorry) -- but we certainly do pay attention to her reckless-driving woes! The Solano County DA has decided to charge Migden with a misdemeanor based on her wild lane-changing and fender-bending ways from earlier this year. Like Paris Hilton, only without the DUI or the wonky eye!

--Turns out rescuers totally missed the car of the missing Alameda County woman and her priest friend, even though they got exact directions from 911. [Chron.]

As discussed in the SFist Contributes tips page, what people heard in Ingleside Heights early yesterday morning was a mysterious car explosion. Witnesses saw a man park a car, get out of the car and into someone else's, and then the parked car burst into flames. Around 7:00 a.m, another car mysteriously exploded, this time in the Tenderloin at Ellis and Taylor. The two incidents aren't thought to be related -- but how weird.

Wow, almost everything we've posted today on SFist (except for SFist Tonight) is transportation-themed. Well, we're sorry to have to continue the trend with this news item: there's been a bad accident on 101 near Redwood City, involving a big rig that hit the center divide and burst into flames. What's going on with all these trucks combusting around here these days?

Set the rumor mill to spin: the latest word we're hearing is that everyone's favorite unstable gum-chewing rehab-graduating baldie mommy Britney Spears is making an attempted career revival at the Red Devil Lounge Monday night.

Here's some good news- everyone involved in yesterday's bus stop/SUV accident is okay. All in all, thirteen kids were hospitalized for injury, as well as the driver, but most of the injuries were minor. Some of them were just hospitalized for anxiety and if we were involved, we'd be pretty frackin’ anxiety riddled ourselves.

As a bunch of school kids waited at the curb for the school bus to take them home, an SUV jumped the corner of where they were standing and struck several of the kids down. At least thirteen people, including the driver, were injured and several of them have been hospitalized. This all happened in front of Ralston Middle School in Belmont around 12:30 today.

We been noticing a lot of these kinds of accidents lately, with a small SUV rolling over at what must be fairly low speeds. We happened upon this scene this afternoon at McAllister and Webster, seeing the tow truck driver almost done with his job of righting the Honda. We have no details, although it appears as if it was a very survivable accident.

With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs.

Here's a wrapup of today's news

Here's a funny stor about an alarm, an SUV, and a tow truck

In a sad story, the wife of the dean of the USF School of Education was killed when a Cadillac Escalade making a U-turn hit an SUV going through the intersection. The SUV careened into two people in the intersection and then slammed up against the wall of a building, and the wife of the dean was pinned under the car. There's upsetting pictures from the scene online too.

Gavin, Schmavin -- bored now. Call us when a shorn-headed Gavin goes bananas outside Kimberly Guilfoyle's house and starts whacking an SUV with a bright-green umbrella! (Maybe Britney was just looking a little too much forward to a drink at the end of her workday as well.)

We can't decide if we're sorry we missed this, or if we're extremely grateful that we take BART to work in the mornings.

We got this forwarded to us in e-mail recently and it's kind of funny. Who doesn't love busting on people from the East Bay.
