SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A low-speed collision between a Muni bus and historic trolley along bustling Market Street in downtown San Francisco sent 15 people to the hospital Wednesday, including seven children who were, coincidentally, on a field trip to the Cable Car Museum.

An F-line trolley traveling east at 11:04 a.m. rear-ended a 9L-San Bruno at a bus stop at the intersection of Sixth and Market streets, said Paul Rose, a Muni spokesman. He said the trolley was traveling less than 1o mph.

The crash knocked down bus passengers, who included 31 children from the Vision Academy Day Camp on their way to the Cable Car Museum. Afterward, a group of the kids — who ranged from kindergarten to eighth grade — sat on the sidewalk holding ice packs to their heads.
