Public's Help Sought in Tenderloin Hit-and-Run

​If you were standing at the corner of Hyde and Golden Gate at 5:04 a.m. on July 28 -- and there must be some of you -- then the San Francisco Police are begging for your help.

At around that time, a relatively new, silver four-door vehicle believed to possibly be an Oldsmobile barreled through the crosswalk, running down a man in his early 30s walking to work. The victim remains in San Francisco General Hospital with life-threatening injuries. The partial plate recovered from the vehicle is 6AQ.

Officer Albie Esparza, a SFPD spokesman, says that while only one person called 911, surveillance footage indicates multiple people on the scene. He'd love to hear from you.
