A 67-year-old San Francisco woman was fatally struck by a city public works truck Sunday morning in the Tenderloin, authorities said.

Officers responded around 7:30 a.m. to a traffic collision in the area Taylor and Geary streets and took the woman to San Francisco General Hospital, police said.

The woman was later pronounced dead at the hospital, officials said. The San Francisco Medical Examiner’s office identified her as city resident Rui Xai Zhen.

Police said the truck was traveling north on Taylor Street when it tried to make a left turn onto westbound Geary Street and struck the woman.

The driver of the truck remained at the scene and was cooperating, police said.

Public works officials identified the employee as a street cleaning worker who was driving a pickup truck. In a statement, the agency’s director, Alaric Degrafinried, called the woman’s death tragic and said officials plan to continue working with authorities while reviewing “internal safe-driving procedures and training.”

“On behalf of San Francisco Public Works, I want to extend our profound condolences to the family and friends of the person who was fatally struck by one of our vehicles in the Tenderloin,” Degrafinried said. “The safety of members of the public and our employees is our No. 1 priority at public works.”

The incident marks the second pedestrian fatality in as many weeks, said Jodie Medeiros, executive director of the pedestrian advocacy group Walk SF. On Feb. 21, 80-year-old San Francisco resident David Chow was fatally struck by a car while crossing the street at the corner of Polk and O’Farrell streets.

“We mourn another life lost on San Francisco streets,” Medeiros said in a statement. “It’s a devastating reminder that we have a crisis on our streets with traffic safety.”
