Eastbound Geary Boulevard between 9th and 11th Avenues closed temporarily this morning after a vehicle-pedestrian collision. According to SF Appeal, "a 70 year old male was struck by a Toyota SUV at 10th Avenue and Geary at 7:56 AM. The victim was transported to SF General, and the driver, who stopped after the accident, remained at the scene."
The pedestrian was whisked to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries.
"I am advising people avoid the area," SFPD spokesperson Officer Albie Esparza explained to the Appeal, "and I am expecting the area to be shut down for quite some time."
