SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A pedestrian was injured this weekend by a car that crashed into a bus shelter in San Francisco, police said.
It happened at approximately 4:50 p.m. Saturday at the bus stop at Fulton Street and Park Presidio Boulevard, right across the street from Golden Gate Park.
Officers rendered aid and medics arrived on scene who transported the adult male to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries
The car ended up on top of a "yield to pedestrians" sign.
This comes following a devastating crash when a 78-year-old woman crashed into a bus shelter in West Portal on March 16.
All four family members, the parents and two children were killed.
The driver of the West Portal crash, who was also injured, has not been formally charged, her lawyer said.
The image of the crash near Golden Gate Park was taken by San Francisco resident Jen Nossokoff. She released a statement writing:
"I'm broken that exactly one week after the horrific tragedy in West portal, I witnessed a man being put on a stretcher after suffering a head injury from yet another car crashing into people who were waiting at a bus stop. This time in my neighborhood. Four children have already died at the hands of traffic violence in San Francisco so far this year. It should go without saying that that is unacceptable. We need immediate action in both policy and design solutions. One of the simplest things we can do is put bollards up at bus stops, and we should start installing them tonight."
