In the second injury crash involving a San Francisco tour bus in two months, a double-decker rig turning right Saturday afternoon struck and killed a pedestrian who witnesses said had been waving and shouting at the driver just before his death.
Witnesses said the victim, an unidentified man believed to be in his 70s, was crossing Post Street at a red light at Divisadero Street. He was hit and crushed under the wheels of the Hop-on Hop-Off Tour Bus at about 1 p.m., said San Francisco Police Officer Carlos Manfredi.
Police provided few details of the accident, saying they will be reviewing any surveillance footage of the crash as part of their investigation. They did say they believed based on witness accounts that the man was crossing against a red light.
Frank Zarich, a retired San Francisco police officer and painting contractor, said he was going to move his truck at a job at UCSF Mount Zion hospital when he saw the man waving and shouting at the bus, which was turning onto eastbound Post Street.
