Police said Sunday that a third person, a woman, had died from injuries after an SUV smashed into a bus stop in San Francisco on Saturday around noon, killing a child and another person and leaving an infant with life-threatening injuries.
On Saturday, San Francisco Supervisor Myrna Melgar said the driver hit four people waiting near the bus stop.
“Two people were killed, including a young child, and two others, including an infant, are seriously injured along with the driver,” Melgar said in a statement. “This is nothing short of tragic.”
San Francisco Police confirmed two people were pronounced dead at the scene, on the west side of the city in the West Portal neighborhood, and three people had been taken to the hospital. It was not immediately clear if the woman whose death was announced Sunday was the driver or a person waiting by the bus stop.
San Francisco Mayor London Breed tweeted Saturday afternoon that she had visited the scene of the collision. She called the incident “heartbreaking.”
The SUV’s driver had been eastbound on Ulloa Street when they hit the bus stop at Ulloa and Lenox Way, San Francisco police said.
“We do not believe that traffic engineering was a factor,” the department tweeted Sunday.
