A pedestrian was critically injured in a hit-and-run incident on Mission at Precita last Saturday night, and the SFPD is looking for leads to help catch the driver. The SF Appeal reports:
The collision was reported at 9:58 p.m. at Mission Street and Precita Avenue, where a 24-year-old woman was hit by a pickup truck, according to police.
The truck driver did not stop after the collision and continued north on Mission Street. The truck and driver had not been found as of this morning, police said.
The victim was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with head and torso injuries that are considered life-threatening, according to police.
Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call the Police Department’s anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” in the message.
I hope the police don’t drop the ball checking for security cameras like they did with the death of Amelie Le Moullac on Folsom.
There must be cameras up and down Mission street (the Tire shop, OReillys, the various bars)
I’m sure someone caught the truck on video
Your graphic has a mistake. It’s not “Accident Scene”, it’s “Crime Scene”. 🙂
Actually it’s both, a hit-and-run is definitely a crime.
Nope, it’s not an accident. The word “accident” has been removed from the parlance in (most) media and police reports. There’s always someone at fault.
Actually, I completely agree. Thank you for pointing that out. I’ve changed the graphic to more accurately reflect the event, and as always thanks for the fact-check.
Is there any new news on this?
I’ve seen nothing in the papers or blogs
