William Rittenhouse witnessed the aftermath of the incident and told Hoodline that investigators were cordoning off the area and taking measurements when he arrived at the scene "a few minutes" after the fatal collision. An SFFD spokesperson said Kennedy died at the scene; his name was released today by the Medical Examiner’s office.
“It looked to me like it was a motorcycle and a SUV,” said Rittenhouse, who said he rides a bicycle daily through the neighborhood. “Generally speaking, I feel like the intersection has good visibility, but traffic goes pretty fast there.”
