Firefighters rescued an injured man trapped inside a pipe underneath Great Highway, in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset neighborhood.
A rescue crew was called around 3:40 a.m. Sunday after a man said he heard screaming, apparently coming from beneath the roadway, on upper Great Highway near Vicente Street, said San Francisco Fire Department Lt. Mariano Elias.
The trapped person had somehow gotten into a pipe that runs 20 feet below street level and had crawled through it. At one point, there was a downward drop in the pipe, and he fell on his head, according to Elias.
“Performing a rescue inside a confined space like a sewer pipe involves getting an OSHA permit to enter the confined space,” Elias said.
Firefighters were able to extricate the man shortly after 5 a.m. He was taken to San Francisco General Hospital with what Elias described as serious injuries.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — California will be in the spotlight and not just because of Vice President Kamala Harris. The Golden State will have the largest group of delegates–nearly 500 of them.
ABC7 News talked to several people from the Bay Area who are already in Chicago, ready for the week to begin.
“It’s overwhelming. It’s exciting. I’m trying to soak it all in,” said Harini Krishnan, a California DNC delegate from San Mateo County.
Krishnan believes this is an historic moment.
“We are on the cusp of making history with the first Black, first south Asian woman president,” Krishnan said. “And what it means for our communities to be seen, valued and heard that we can aspire for the highest office in this country.”
DNC CHICAGO 2024: What to know about the Democratic National Convention
Krishnan is the national director for South Asians for Harris.
“I have known the VP for a long time. I’m proud to call her a friend. I was a lead volunteer organizer for the presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris in California in 2019,” Krishnan said.
She is proud to show her support this week during the Democratic National Convention.
“I’m wearing my South Asians for Harris sticker,” Krishnan said.
This is the first time for Honey Mahogany at the DNC as a delegate.
How to watch, what to know about the 2024 DNC
“We have already done our official DNC welcome, which is amazing,” Mahogany said.
Mahogany is the former chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party and has advocated for justice and equity for the LGBTQ+ community for more than two decades.
“I’m very excited to see VP Harris in person. I’m from San Francisco. I’m very proud that we have a Bay Area native, especially in the White House,” Mahogany said. “I’d love to hear from her messages of solidarity, ensuring that all people in the Democratic Party will be represented by her–that we all will have a voice.”
Ajay Bhutoria, a tech executive from Fremont, is at the DNC as part of the standing rules committee.
“I’ve been making sure the platform and the rules are approved, which will help a smooth nomination process for VP Harris,” Bhutoria said.

He was there at the San Francisco fundraiser for VP Harris that was attended by more than 700 supporters. Bhutoria has also helped raise big money for Harris among the South Asian community.
Bhutoria said people want a change, and they’re willing to work for it.
“We turn out every vote that is needed, so we elect Kamala Harris for president,” Bhutoria said.
Supporters know selecting Kamala Harris as the Democratic party’s nominee for president is a big step. They also know much more work needs to be done after the DNC.
“We are going to use this time to build bridges, to build relations, and then, we have to organize like hell over the next 80 days to get Harris/Walz across the finish line,” Krishnan said.

The 49ers still have a massive task to complete that has nothing to do with what happens against the Saints on Sunday night. As of Saturday, they were still working to either close a new deal with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk or potentially be forced to trade the star in the final days before the 2024 season begins. San Francisco comes off a 17-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans in their preseason opener with most of the team’s key players sitting out.

The Saints come off a 16-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals in their preseason opener, which was marked by rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler scoring the team’s only touchdown on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter. Veteran Derek Carr was 2 of 6 passing for 12 yards in limited duty, while the backfield duo of Alvin Kamara and Jamaal Williams were both held out of action. New Orleans goes into Year 2 with Carr as the team’s presumed quarterback and an investment made in protecting him, selecting Oregon State’s Taliese Fuaga in the first round (No. 14 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 49ers and Saints are set for an 8 p.m. ET start on FOX. Live streams are available from FuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (low intro rate).
