Description:

Transit officials say a collision between a streetcar and a bus in downtown San Francisco has left more than a dozen people injured. San Francisco Municipal Railway officials said that 10 people were treated and released at the scene of the 4:40 p.m. crash Tuesday. Five others were taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The initial assessment is that the train hit the bus, which then struck a private vehicle, but police continue to investigate. The accident snarled traffic along Market St., the city's main downtown thoroughfare. Muni provided buses to shuttle individuals caught in the traffic.
