Pedestrian killed in hit-and-run near SF’s Broadway Tunnel

Police located the man, who was not identified, just before 6 a.m. in the road on Broadway just west of Powell Street after someone went to the Central Police Station on Vallejo Street to report a body in the street, said Officer Albie Esparza, a spokesman for the San Francisco Police Department.

A witness told police that a white, windowless van was driving southbound on Powell Street and making a right onto Broadway toward the Broadway Tunnel when the victim was hit, he said.

Police are continuing to investigate the incident and were searching for the van, which they say likely sustained front end damage.
