Last night around 10:45pm there was a hit-and-run at mission and 18th street – a pedestrian was run over completely by a car, which then sped off. It was about the most awful thing I’ve ever seen.
SFPD has no record of any such incident. Can anyone else corroborate?
Update: Mr. P. elaborates:
A car parked on Mission Street was pointed south and pulled out quickly from a parking spot after someone driving by seemed to shout/throw something at the car. After the car pulled out it accelerated quickly and then gunned the engine turning right (west) onto 18th street. The pedestrian was in the crosswalk and basically was mowed down as the car went by.
A fire truck, police, and ambulance were there pretty quickly. It was a pretty scary thing to see in our neighborhood!
I was working the door at Beauty Bar and saw fire trucks and police there for several hours. Our homeboy Ronnie Butters told me that they had 18th blocked off from Mission to cap as well. Strange that the cops did not have any info … probably too lazy to look it up.
Strange, I also have been hit by a car at this intersection. But on the other side of the street.
