One person is dead and another was injured in a collision between a vehicle and both a pedestrian and an electric scooter Thursday night in North Beach.
The collision happened around 10:42 pm Thursday, as KRON4 reports, at the intersection of Kearny Street and Broadway. The vehicle, a gray SUV or crossover, was reportedly reversing downhill on Kearny when it struck a passing scooter and its rider, as well as a pedestrian.
Video from the Citizen app appears to show the vehicle not in the roadway of Kearny, but on the concrete steps that form the sidewalk on one side of the street, rammed up against a building.
The electric scooter can be seen lying in the middle of the street.
NBC Bay Area subsequently reported that the person killed was the pedestrian, who was male, and the scooter rider, also male, was hospitalized with injuries. The driver of the vehicle was uninjured.
No further information has been provided about the victim(s).
The collision remains under investigation by the SFPD, but police have apparently said that alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the collision.
Anyone with information is asked to call the SFPD tip line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with “SFPD.” Tipsters can remain anonymous.
This post has been corrected to show that a pedestrian, and not the scooter rider, was killed.
