A preliminary investigation revealed the man was already lying in the roadway prior to being struck by the vehicle, highlighting the need for enhanced pedestrian safety measures.
The collision marks the 22nd traffic-related pedestrian death in San Francisco this year, indicating an alarming trend that calls for immediate action to prevent such tragedies.
Jodie Medeiros emphasized that despite progress in street redesigns for safety, 'these all-too-common tragedies continue to remind us of how far San Francisco still has to go.'
Nearby nonprofit Walk SF noted that four pedestrians have been killed within a four-block radius along 16th Street in the past four years, showcasing the area's dangers.
