An 8-year-old boy is in life-threatening condition after being struck by a car while in a crosswalk on a busy stretch of 19th Avenue in the Inner Sunset on Friday, December 7 Saturday, December 8. 

According to police reports, the victim was riding a bicycle northbound westbound on Lawton Street around 3:06 p.m. when he was hit by a driver going southbound on 19th Avenue. 

The driver, a 58-year-old woman, also suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the collision. A police spokesperson confirmed that the driver remained at the scene. It's not clear if any charges have been filed against her. 

The high-traffic thoroughfare along 19th Avenue has long been an issue for the city as it works toward meeting its Vision Zero goals, or no traffic-related deaths, by 2024. 

A 34-year-old man died crossing 19th Avenue on a red light, near the Stonestown Galleria mall, in April of this year. And in December 2017, a pedestrian was struck and killed near 19th Avenue and Quintara in Parkside.
