SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 More than a dozen people were hurt when a San Francisco cable car abruptly stopped Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Fifteen people had injuries ranging from minor to moderate, the San Francisco Fire Department posted<\/a> on social media. Two of them were immediately taken to hospitals and 11 others were treated for what the department described as \u201cminor aches and pains.\u201d <\/p>\n

The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, which runs the cable cars, said it was actively investigating the incident and gave no reason for the stop.<\/p>\n

The cable cars are a major tourist draw and were immortalized in a Tony Bennett<\/a> song about leaving his heart in San Francisco. Passengers on cable cars do not wear seat belts and often hang off the cars, which are partly open-air. <\/p>\n

Cable cars first began running in San Francisco in the 1870s and they were designated as a National Historic Landmark in the 1960s. Today there are three cable car lines in the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cSafety for our passengers on all Muni vehicles continues to be our top priority. We\u2019ll be conducting a full review of incident details to ensure continued safety on the cable cars,\u201d SFMTA said in a statement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 More than a dozen people were hurt when a San Francisco cable car abruptly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96302,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[7,2793,18,1570,2687,33117,5438,101,103,102,104,106,105,52850,1967,17],"class_list":["post-96301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-california","tag-domestic-news","tag-general-news","tag-health","tag-injuries","tag-local-news-for-apple","tag-pain-management","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news","tag-tony-bennett","tag-transportation","tag-u-s-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96301","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=96301"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96301\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
