SF Appeal tells us that the KTVU broadcast is reporting that a window washer caused the sidewalk along Sutter Street in the Financial District to collapse last night at 2 a.m. The window washer was reportedly using a 25,000 pound fork-lift to clean the windows of the Banana Republic on Grant Avenue, and the sidewalk wasn't able to support the weight.
Sutter is still currently closed between Kearny and Grant, and as of SF Appeal's post at 8:14 a.m., they were expecting it to take another hour to fix the sidewalk.
