A tragic incident occurred in San Francisco when a family was killed after a woman, 78, crashed her Mercedes SUV into a Muni stop. The victims, identified as Diego, a 33-year-old Apple executive, his film producer wife, and their toddler, were waiting at the bus stop to visit the zoo. The only survivor from the crash is an infant boy. The incident has sparked a citywide mourning, with more than 150 people attending a vigil. It also raised concerns over the city's traffic safety measures, as this marks the 7th pedestrian death this year, more than double compared to the same time last year. Authorities and the community have expressed deep condolences, highlighting the impact on the West Portal community and calling for action to prevent further tragedies.
Many said the tragedy shows that San Francisco’s efforts to eliminate traffic fatalities and encourage alternate forms of transportation have been insufficient. https://t.co/S8RyOTlm8f

If SF is unwilling to do whatever it takes to prevent the killing of families waiting for the bus, how can we criticize those that resist gun control and only offer thoughts and prayers as consolation? We could end pedestrian deaths if we were serious. https://t.co/AiTERmvRV9 https://t.co/o9eGSWV8Sj
