Market at Kearny Street was temporarily shut down in both directions Monday night after a crash involving a Muni bus left one woman trapped under the city vehicle. The Chronicle reports that the collision was reported at roughly 7:15 p.m., and that the victim was transported to a trauma center.
The exact circumstances of the collision remain unclear, and the identity of the victim has yet to be released. KRON 4 reports that she suffered significant leg injuries in the 7 p.m. crash.
A Chronicle reporter on the scene, Michael Bodley, reports that the victim is 60 years old and is in critical condition. He writes that the 9 San Bruno struck the woman and subsequently trapped her underneath. SFFD arrived on the scene and attempted to rescue her.
Based on Muni and SFFD accounts: the adult woman was hit by the bus, then trapped under, prompting a rescue, then rushed to the hospital. pic.twitter.com/zxlfpM0BPZ

According to SFMTA, multiple Muni lines were delayed and rerouted as a result of the collision. Photos from the scene show a 9 San Bruno bus stopped in a crosswalk, although it is not clear if the bus pictured is the same one that ran over the woman.
