The San Francisco Police Department reports that the accident took place around 8:18 PM.
Authorities said officers responded to the scene and located the victim, rendering aid until medics arrived and transported the victim to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The driver did not remain at the scene, and police are investigating the collision as a hit-and-run.
Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact police.
San Francisco Hit-and-Run Accidents and Personal Injury Claims
California law requires drivers involved in any collision to stop, render aid, and remain at the scene to cooperate with law enforcement. A driver who flees the scene may face criminal prosecution in addition to civil liability, and may be considered to have committed negligence per se, increasing their share of liability in the collision.
Given the severity of the injuries described as life-threatening, the victim’s long-term medical needs are likely to be a significant factor in any resulting claim once the driver is identified. The victim may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim, which can provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
