A pedestrian was seriously injured this morning, after being struck by a sports utility vehicle while crossing a street near San Francisco's infamous Jefferson Airplane Mansion, the San Francisco Police Department says.

According to SFPD spokesperson Officer Gordon Shyy, the pedestrian was crossing the street at around 8:20 this morning near near Fulton Street and Willard North Street when the driver of a blue SUV struck him or her.

(The northwest corner of Fulton Street and Willard North Street is also known as the location of "Jefferson Airplane Mansion," a Colonial Revival style home at 2400 Fulton Street that was the home of the rock group Jefferson Airplane in the late 1960s.)

The pedestrian, whom the Chron notes may or may not have been in a crosswalk, suffered a "serious head injury," and was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, Shyy says.

The SUV driver remained on the scene and was cooperating with SFPD, Shyy says.
