Sacramento, CA : 3 still hospitalized following SF crash into Muni stop on Monday, December 19th 2016
Three people, including a 73-year-old woman in serious condition, remained hospitalized in San Francisco Monday following Friday’s crash, when the driver of a gray sedan lost control on a crowded stretch of Stockton Street, slamming into a Muni stop and through a crowd.
Another elderly woman, 85, was in fair condition Monday night, along with a 25-year-old man also in fair condition, said Brent Andrew, a spokesman for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where all three were being treated.
Though there were initial reports of as many as 10 injuries in the midday wreck, just five people were treated at San Francisco General — with the other two released the same day — the spokesman said. Other victims from the crash may have been treated at private hospitals.The San Francisco Police Department has not identified the driver of the car, a gray Toyota Camry, that struck several people before it rammed into the bus stop, splintering the structure and sending glass flying across the street and sidewalk. An investigation was ongoing as to what caused the crash.
Three vehicles were involved in the accident, with the Toyota considered the main cause, fire officials said.The driver was headed north on Stockton Street toward Clay Street when it veered into a parked car before jumping the sidewalk, into a crowd of people outside a cafe — some waiting for their food, others for the 30-Stockton and 45-Union Muni buses.
Witnesses described bedlam on the Chinatown street that’s lined with restaurants and other businesses, with bodies flying through the air and blood coating the shards of glass that rained down at the crash site.
“It was like watching a movie,” said a witness, Jason Wagner, after the crash. “I didn’t want to run because there were too many people flying.”
