Bicyclist badly hurt in S.F. crash
A bicyclist suffered life-threatening injuries when he was hit by a truck Tuesday in San Francisco, police said.
The accident happened at Franklin and Oak streets about 2:30 p.m. when the truck driver stopped at a blinking red light, then made a right onto Franklin.
