A man in a wheelchair was struck and killed by a car early Monday in San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was hit shortly after midnight at the intersection of Market Street and Octavia Boulevard near the on-ramp to Highway 101. He died at San Francisco General Hospital.

Police did not release further details. The driver of the car remained at the scene after the collision.

The crash happened three days after the city began camera enforcement at the busy intersection to catch drivers making illegal right turns from eastbound Market to the Highway 101 on-ramp.

It was unclear whether the driver in Monday's collision had turned illegally or whether the surveillance camera had filmed the crash.
