Pedestrian Seriously Injured In Hit And Run At Oak And Scott
A man received serious injuries Tuesday night after being hit by a car at the intersection of Oak and Scott Streets.

According to SFPD spokesman Albie Esparza, the incident was reported around 8:54pm Tuesday night. A car traveling eastward on Oak Street at a "pretty fast" rate ran a red light, and hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The car, the make and model of which are unknown, continued driving away from the scene, according to Esparza. The victim, described as a 25 year old male, was transported to SFGH with life threatening injuries. We don't know his condition at this time, although a friend claims that he is in the intensive care unit: This comes just 24 hours after a collision two blocks east at Oak and Steiner which claimed the life of motorcyclist Bill Beckwith. Anyone who may have witnessed either incident is asked to call the SFPD's anonymous tip line at 415-575-4444.
