Two pedestrians were killed in separate traffic crashes<\/a> in San Francisco’s Outer Mission and North Beach neighborhoods late Thursday and early Friday, including a suspected hit-and-run, authorities said.<\/p>\n

A third crash Friday afternoon in the Inner Sunset left a bicyclist seriously injured<\/a>, adding to a string of serious traffic collisions across the city.<\/p>\n

San Francisco police said officers responded around 2:26 a.m. Friday to the 5500 block of Mission Street after reports of a person lying in the roadway following a suspected hit-and-run.\u00a0Officers found the person with injuries and rendered aid until paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n

“Despite lifesaving efforts of the emergency responders, the person was declared deceased on scene,” police said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The department’s Traffic Collision Investigation Unit is handling the case, and no arrest had been made Friday evening.<\/p>\n

In another crash Friday afternoon, a woman riding a bicycle was seriously injured in a collision with a construction truck in San Francisco’s Inner Sunset neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Fire crews responded around 3:09 p.m. to Seventh Avenue and Irving Street after reports of a crash involving a person with traumatic injuries, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.<\/p>\n

Earlier Thursday night, another pedestrian was killed in a\u00a0crash<\/a> in North Beach.<\/p>\n

The crash happened shortly before 11 p.m. near Broadway and Kearny streets when a driver backing downhill struck a man on the sidewalk, according to San Francisco police. The man died at the scene.<\/p>\n

Debris from the crash caused a scooter rider to fall. The rider was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.<\/p>\n

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, and alcohol or drugs do not appear to have been factors, police said.<\/p>\n

The crashes come as San Francisco officials continue efforts to reduce traffic deaths under the city’s Vision Zero safety initiative.<\/p>\n

“No one’s life should end in this way. Our hearts go out to the victims’ family and loved ones,” said Jodie Medeiros, executive director of the pedestrian advocacy group Walk San Francisco, in a statement.<\/p>\n

Walk San Francisco said the deaths bring the number of pedestrians killed in the city this year to five. Mission Street and Broadway are both part of the city’s “high-injury network,” the roughly 12% of streets where the majority of severe traffic crashes occur, according to the group.<\/p>\n

“Everyone should feel and be safe on San Francisco’s streets,” Medeiros said. “Every life lost is a painful reminder that city leaders must treat traffic safety as an urgent priority.”<\/p>\n

Authorities asked anyone with information about the crashes to contact police at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with SFPD.<\/p>\n
