Man's leg gets stuck under Muni bus in San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO – A man in San Francisco was hospitalized after getting his leg stuck under a city bus wheel Saturday afternoon, according to the San Francisco Fire Department.

The accident occurred around 4:35 p.m. on Geary Boulevard and Masonic Avenue. Drivers were asked to avoid the area as emergency crews were at the scene. 

It’s not exactly clear how the man got their leg stuck under the bus’ wheel, according to SF Fire. Crews were able to extricate the person and take them to SF General Hospital for treatment. Fire officials identified the person as a pedestrian. 

It’s unclear if they were waiting for a bus.

The extent of their injuries is currently unknown.

San Francisco police told KTVU that they had responded to the scene for reports of a vehicle collision and learned that the crash occurred between a Muni bus and a pedestrian.

Police said he was taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries but didn’t share any additional details.

The area has since been cleared, but drivers should still expect residual delays, SFMTA said.

KTVU reached out to the SFMTA and is awaiting additional comment.
