A person on a stand-up electric scooter died Friday morning after they were struck by the driver of a commercial truck in San Francisco, police believe.<\/p>\n
The collision happened at about 8:18 a.m. at Powell and Market streets, police said.<\/p>\n
Responding officers found one person in the street suffering from life-threatening injuries. Emergency personnel tried to save the person, but they died at the scene.<\/p>\n
“At this time, we believe that the person who was deceased was operating a stand-up electric scooter when a commercial truck involved in the collision struck them,” San Francisco police Officer Robert Rueca said.<\/p>\n
The truck driver stopped in the area and was cooperating with investigators, police said. Whether the collision would be classified as a hit and run was under investigation.<\/p>\n
“There is still a lot that we need to uncover,” Rueca said.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information about the collision is asked to call San Francisco police at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411 and start the message with SFPD.<\/p>\n
