One woman died and another suffered life-threatening injuries after they were struck by a vehicle in San Francisco Monday morning, police said.
The collision happened just before 11 a.m. in the area of 24th Avenue and Santiago Street, according to police.
The driver, identified as 47-year-old Robert Green, stayed at the scene before being transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. He was later arrested and booked on multiple charges, including manslaughter and driving under the influence.
San Francisco Supervisor Gordon Mar said the victims were out for a walk in the neighborhood when they were hit.
"They were crossing in a crosswalk," He said. "This just should not have happened. These types of tragedies are absolutely preventable."
Mar, who's currently up for reelection, has called on the SFMTA to install further infrastructure, like speed bumps, to slow down traffic in the area. He's also calling on police to do more.
"My colleagues and I are really following up and really holding SFPD accountable to enforcing our traffic laws more aggressively in our city," he said.
The driver also struck several vehicles, police said.
Anyone with information about the collison is encouraged to call the San Francisco Police Department at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and start the message with SFPD.
