A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter for a collision that killed a pedestrian last month in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, police announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Isaac Bowler was arrested in connection with the collision that was reported shortly after 4 a.m. on July 14 in the 200 block of Sixth Street near Howard Street, according to San Francisco police.<\/p>\n
The pedestrian was taken to a hospital and succumbed to his injuries there, and was later identified by the city Medical Examiner’s Office as David Reinhart, a 57-year-old San Francisco resident.<\/p>\n
About a month later, investigators developed probable cause to arrest Bowler. He was arrested in San Francisco on Monday on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, failing to exercise due care for a pedestrian, and failing to provide proof of insurance, police said.<\/p>\n
Police asked anyone with more information about the case to call their tip line at 415-575-4444 or to send a tip by text message to TIP411 with “SFPD” at the start of the message.<\/p>\n
The pedestrian advocacy nonprofit Walk San Francisco said the July 14 crash marked the second fatality in the area of Sixth and Howard streets in less than a year after a 78-year-old man was killed there on Aug. 10, 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter for a collision that killed a pedestrian…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437548,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-437547","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437547","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437547"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437547\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437548"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437547"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437547"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437547"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
