The woman who was found dead on Market Street<\/a> last Friday morning after a collision involving a scooter and another vehicle has been identified as a 32-year-old San Francisco resident.<\/p>\n

The victim has been identified by the SF Medical Examiner as 32-year-old Yebin Kim. As the Chronicle reports<\/a>, Kim was killed by a commercial truck in the area of Market and Powell streets on August 7 just after 8:15 am, and the truck was reportedly branded with the hard iced tea brand Surfside.<\/p>\n

The driver of the truck has been cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Various witness reports came in on Friday morning after the fatal collision shut down Market Street for several hours. An initial report suggested a pedestrian had been struck by a bus, but it then emerged that the victim was found with a helmet and scooter lying next to her.<\/p>\n

ABC 7 reported<\/a>, via a witness, that the scooter-rider, Kim, may have caught a wheel in a streetcar track, which is a common hazard on Market Street for bicycles and scooters. This reportedly caused Kim to fall off the scooter into the roadway where she was then struck by a box truck. <\/p>\n

Kim suffered a traumatic head injury, according to the medical examiner, and her helmet was clearly knocked off her head.<\/p>\n

Further details about how the crash occurred are still pending, as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n

The incident follows a spate of scooter injuries, some of them serious, that were reported at SF General on July 4th<\/a>, when many people took scooters out to try to watch the fireworks.<\/p>\n
