'Heartbreaking': 4 victims hit in crash were a family waiting to take bus to the zoo, reports say
All four of the victims were waiting for the bus when the accident happened on Ulloa Street and Lenox Way in the city's West Portal neighborhood.
In a statement on X following the accident, Mayor London Breed called the collision "tragic."
"I’ve just visited the scene and it is heartbreaking. We will share more information when we can, but now our focus is on the victims and their families," Breed said.
Family friends told KGO that the four pedestrians hit by the SUV were a family waiting to take the bus to visit the zoo.
"A lot of things I know about love, I learned from them. They were an amazing couple. They had no issues with anything. It was love, love, love. They took care of the kids and were going to the zoo for a nice day at the park," Rogerio Falerio, a friend told the outlet.
The Chronicle reported that residents have been leaving flowers at a growing memorial on the accident site.
