SAN FRANCISCO — A driver lost control along a hilly stretch of San Francisco and crashed into a group of people waiting for a bus Tuesday, officials said.
Four of the five victims suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to local hospitals, said Lt. Mindy Talmadge, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Fire Department.
The crash occurred shortly after 9:30 a.m. in the city’s Visitacion Valley neighborhood. The driver apparently lost her ability to steer and brake as her gray Ford SUV came down a hill while traveling southbound on San Bruno Avenue, Talmadge said.
The vehicle veered onto a sidewalk and slammed into a recessed area of an apartment building where people were seeking shade while waiting for a bus, San Francisco police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said.
The driver remained on the scene and was cooperating with investigators, Andraychak added.
