SAN FRANCISCO – Saturday morning, a San Francisco police officer fatally struck a pedestrian in the Bernal Heights neighborhood, officials said.

The accident occurred around 6:20 a.m. near Bayshore Boulevard and Industrial Street. The officer was on duty when the accident occurred, SFPD said in a statement.

The man was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries where he later died.

The officer was not injured, SFPD said. The department’s Traffic Collision Investigations Unit responded to the scene and is investigating the collision. 

The San Francisco Police Department said they are actively investigating the accident and said anyone with information should contact them at (415) 575-4444.

A major ice storm created treacherous driving conditions across Iowa and eastern Nebraska this weekend and prompted temporary closures of Interstate 80 after numerous cars and trucks slid off the road. Many events were canceled across the region when the storm hit Friday evening, and businesses announced plans to open late Saturday as officials urged people to stay home if possible. However, temperatures are expected to rise high enough Saturday afternoon to melt the ice in most places, the AP reports. “Luckily some warmer air is moving in behind this to make it temporary,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Dave Cousins, who works in the Davenport, Iowa, office.

Elsewhere, a storm prompted the first tornado warning in the recorded history of San Francisco, per CNN. Severe storms swept through the city, just one week after a tsunami warning triggered widespread panic in the region. Trees were toppled and roofs were damaged in the city that hasn’t seen a tornado since 2005, according to the Weather Service. The damage on the northwest side of the city was being assessed Saturday to determine if there was a tornado. “This was the first ever warning for possible tornado in San Francisco. I would guess there wasn’t a clear signature on radar for a warning in 2005,” said Roger Gass, a meteorologist in the Weather Service’s Monterey, California, office who says he was not there in 2005.

The fast-moving storm prompted warnings for residents to take shelter, but few people have basements in the area. Winds gusted to 83mph at San Francisco’s airport. The warning was canceled after 6am Saturday; more than 10,000 people were without power in the city. In the Northeast, people are digging out after heavy snow fell in upstate New York, per the AP. More than 33 inches of snow was reported near Orchard Park, New York, but people who live there are used to dealing with heavy lake-effect snow this time of year.
