SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) -- Two pedestrians were struck by vehicles and severely injured Monday morning in separate but near-simultaneous incidents near San Francisco City Hall and in the city's Bayview District.
In the first, a 54-year-old woman was hit by a car at about 6:30 a.m. while crossing the street at Van Ness Avenue and Grove Street, San Francisco police Lt. Lyn Tomioka said.
About 10 minutes later, another woman was hit by a vehicle near Quint Street and Palou Avenue in the Bavyiew, Tomioka said.
Both victims suffered life-threatening injuries and were taken to San Francisco General Hospital, where both were undergoing surgery mid-morning.
The drivers in both cases pulled over afterward and no arrests have been made.
