Nine people, including two children, were injured Saturday evening when a double-decker tour bus crashed with an SUV just north of the Ferry Building on The Embarcadero in San Francisco, authorities.
The first report of the crash came in shortly before 6 p.m. on the northbound side of The Embarcadero at Broadway.
All nine suffered minor injuries, the most serious a broken ankle, according to officials. Seven were taken to a hospital.
San Francisco police said the driver of the Ford Explorer would "most likely" be cited for cutting off the bus, forcing the bus driver to stop short. Police said, preliminarily, drugs or alcohol didn't seem to be a factor.
