6 Injured In Collision Involving Bus, Trolley On Market Street
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – A San Francisco Municipal Railway streetcar and a bus collided Thursday morning along Market Street, sending two people to the hospital, according to Muni officials.
The crash occurred in the 1000 block of Market Street around 10:10 a.m., according to San Francisco fire Lt. Jonathan Baxter.
The collision involved a 21-Hayes bus and an F-Market & Wharves streetcar, Muni spokesman Paul Rose said.

The bus apparently rear-ended the streetcar, both of which share a bus- and taxi-only lane along Market Street.
Six people from both vehicles were injured. The injuries, however, are not thought to be life-threatening.
Two people were transported to a hospital while the other four declined, Rose said.
