Four young girls -- ages 9, 11, 12 and 14 -- were hurt when a big-rig truck collided into a traffic signal pole at 24th and South Van Ness causing it to fall and hit said pedestrians.

"The accident was reported at about 7:15 p.m. at 24th Street and South Van Ness Avenue," reports SF Appeal. "The big-rig driver was turning onto 24th Street when a car came into his path, causing him to cut his turn short and hit the traffic signal pole."

The injuries were not considered life-threatening. And as Mission Local notes, "One of the women was walking and the other was conscious, but clearly in pain. The one that was not ambulatory was placed on a board and both were transported to a hospital."
