Driver sought in deadly hit-and-run in San Francisco's Bayview
A man died in a hit-and-run collision in San Francisco's Bayview District on Monday morning, according to police. The collision was reported shortly after 6 a.m. in the area of Bayshore Boulevard and Jerrold Avenue, where officers arrived and found the victim, who was pronounced dead at the scene, San Francisco police said. The man's name was not immediately available. As of midday Tuesday, investigators have not announced an arrest or released any suspect information in connection with the hit-and-run. The pedestrian advocacy group Walk San Francisco on Tuesday said the man who died was a 47-year-old pedestrian. "We are heartbroken and angry for another life lost on our streets. We are sending our deepest condolences to the victim's loved ones," Walk SF executive director Jodie Medeiros said in a statement. The group is planning a protest on the steps of City Hall next week to call on San Francisco leaders to take action to prevent traffic deaths. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the SFPD tip line at (415) 575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with SFPD at the start of the message.

San Francisco marks third pedestrian death of 2025
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — San Francisco's main watchdog advocacy group for safe streets said the city has recorded its third pedestrian death of 2025. Man convicted in 'unprovoked' Tenderloin sidewalk attack: SF DA Walk San Francisco (Walk SF) said it was notified by the San Francisco Police Department that a driver crashed into a 77-year-old woman on March 14. The victim succumbed to her injuries on Thursday. The incident happened in the area of Geary Boulevard and 39th Avenue. 'The intersection of Geary and 39th is inherently dangerous for pedestrians,' said Walk SF in a news release. 'Geary Boulevard is very wide, with four travel lanes and no traffic light signals nor stop signs at 39th. Pedestrians must cross a long distance, and drivers often speed.' It is not known if speeding was a factor in the collision. A flashing pedestrian light was installed last August at Geary Boulevard and 38th Avenue, and a speed camera was recently placed on Geary — but between 7th and 8th avenues, said Walk SF. 'We grieve the loss of life on our streets, and are heartbroken for this woman's loved ones,' said Jodie Medeiros, executive director of Walk SF. 'We hold the victim and her loved ones in our thoughts.' The identity of the victim has not been released. Walk SF said the first pedestrian death of the year was an 81-year-old man who was killed by a hit-and-run driver on Jan. 4, in the area of Silver Avenue and Colby Street. The second victim was a 77-year-old woman who was struck by a driver on Jan. 21, in the area of Carter Street and Geneva Avenue, and passed seven days later. According to Walk SF, 24 people were killed in 2024 while walking in San Francisco — the highest number seen in a decade. KRON4 has reached out to San Francisco police for more information but did not hear back in time for this report. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
