The staff of the beloved Mission District bar Zeitgeist closed down for the weekend to mourn the loss of their bartender, Chase, who was killed in a tragic pedestrian accident.
Witnesses reported seeing bar staff weeping as they informed patrons that they had to leave. A memorial appeared to honor Chase outside the bar shortly after.
Chase was struck by a vehicle on Geary Boulevard while on foot, marking a tragic moment in the city's rise in pedestrian fatalities, totaling 21 this year.
Initial confusion arose regarding the nature of the accident, but it became clear that Chase was not involved in a motorcycle crash as initially reported.
