A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Bay Street in San Francisco. The driver fled the scene.
Police and fire personnel responded the collision at roughly 6:40 p.m. Sunday, finding a person suffering from serious injuries.
