Hit-and-Run Kills 55-Year-Old Man at Masonic and Turk

A hit-and-run incident claimed the life of a 55-year-old man at Masonic and Turk last night. The Chronicle reports: "The series of crashes began at about 2:30 a.m. when the suspect, Jose Jimenez, 23, of San Francisco, ran down a 55-year-old man crossing Masonic Avenue at Turk Boulevard." Jimenez was allegedly drunk at the time of the crash. This is the second time in less than a year that a car accident claimed a life at the notorious intersection. Last August, German tourist Nils Linke, 21, was killed at Masonic and Turk by a hit-and-run incident.
