Pedestrians hurt by car running red light

Eight people were injured Wednesday morning in San Francisco’s Ingleside neighborhood when a driver ran a red light and struck a number of pedestrians, according to police.

The collision at Ocean and Miramar Avenues occurred just before 8:30 a.m. when a woman ran a red light and struck several vehicles, some parking meters, a tree and a number of pedestrians, police Officer Giselle Linnane said.

Eight pedestrians were injured, two or three of them minors, Linnane said.

Fire officials said six people were taken to the hospital, while two declined transport. All of the injuries were considered minor.

The driver’s condition remained unclear as of Wednesday morning, but she remained at the scene.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, but it does not appear to have been intentional, Linnane said.

No arrest had been made in the case as of this morning.
