The pedestrian died on the spot, officials determined, while the driver of the vehicle that was struck came away unscathed.
SFPD arrested the driver of the car that careened into the vehicle and pedestrian.
Officials say the investigation is still active, and charges have not yet been determined.
Police advised people to avoid the area because of street closures while officers collect evidence and interview witnesses.
Bystanders told The Standard that the victim was a woman. Her body was carted away on a gurney at around 1:15 p.m.
