Yesterday (06-09) a paratransit bus dropped off a disabled 50-something year old woman in the Western Addition area of San Francisco. The woman, who used a walker, exited the bus and then attempted to cross the street in front of the bus that just dropped her off.
The bus hit her and dragged her about 50 feet down the road, trapping her under the bus. She died at the scene.
The bus driver is cooperating with the investigation. It is unclear at this time whether or not the woman was crossing with or against the light.
The woman may have been heading towards a community meeting at the Unitarian Church located nearby. The meeting was a public forum on pedestrian safety focusing on disabled senior citizens.
