(12-21) 09:02 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A suspected hit-and-run driver crashed her car into a group of pedestrians at Twin Peaks Vista Point Thursday night, killing one woman and injuring two others, San Francisco police said. Investigators said three of the pedestrians were knocked down a hillside and rescue crews had to use ropes and backboards to pull them up. All three were rushed to San Francisco General Hospital, where one, Yuee Yao, later died.
Yao, 56, and her colleagues were walking along Christmas Tree Point Road around 8:50 p.m. when a sedan hit three of them, sending them tumbling down a hill. A fourth pedestrian was able to jump out of the way and was not hit, said police spokesman Sgt. Michael Andraychak.
A 23-year-old San Francisco woman, whose name was not released, was found in her car a short distance away and arrested on suspicion of felony hit-and-run driving and felony drunken driving, said police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy. Her car had three passengers, including a 17-year-old female who was taken to San Francisco General with minor injuries from the collision.
The other two passengers, two San Francisco men ages 22 and 25, were arrested on suspicion of being drunk in public, Shyy said.
The two injured pedestrians, whose names were not released, are expected to recover.
