SFPD: Struck bicyclist was going wrong way

(01-09) 14:08 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- A bicyclist who was struck by a tow truck in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood was traveling in the wrong direction on a one-way street, police said Thursday.

The bicyclist, a 31-year-old woman who has not been identified, was hit at Seventh and Folsom streets at about 5 p.m. Wednesday.

She had been riding west on Folsom, which runs one way in the opposite direction, said Officer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman.

She sustained lacerations to her face and body, a possible broken bone and a possible concussion, police said, and was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police originally identified her as a 40-year-old woman. The tow truck driver is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing, Esparza said.

Wednesday's crash happened just a block away from where another bicyclist, 24-year-old Amelie Le Moullac, died when she struck was by a truck on Aug. 14 at Sixth and Folsom streets.
