A bicyclist was seriously injured Tuesday after he caught his wheel on a Muni track and fell under a bus, authorities said.

The bus, an outbound 31 Balboa, rolled over the man at the intersection of Market and New Montgomery streets at about 4:41 p.m. , said San Francisco Metropolitan Transit Agency spokesman Paul Rose.

He was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening injuries, said Officer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman.

Traffic at the intersection was shut down pending the investigation, but opened again shortly before 6:45 p.m., Rose said.
