A pedestrian was struck by a school bus on Interstate Highway 280
in San Francisco this afternoon, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said.
The collision happened around 12:15 p.m. on northbound Highway 280
just south of the Ocean Avenue overcrossing, CHP Officer Vu Williams said.
Witnesses said a man was on the right shoulder and ran into
oncoming traffic, according to Williams.
He was then hit by the school bus in the second lane from the
right, Williams said.
The pedestrian was transported to San Francisco General Hospital.
Williams did not know what condition the man was in but said he was conscious
and talking at the scene.
The bus driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and did not
suffer injuries in the collision. He stayed at the scene and was cooperative
with officers, Williams said.
It does not appear that the bus sustained damage from the
collision, he said.
The two right lanes on northbound Highway 280 were closed due to
the accident and were estimated to reopen around 1:30 p.m., according to
Williams.
