SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A chaotic morning on downtown San Francisco streets has led to the arrest of an accused hit-and-run driver.

Two pedestrians were hit in two separate locations an hour apart, and one of the victims is a 14-year-old girl who was walking to class at Francisco Middle School.

Officials say she’s going to be okay.

All of this started just before 8 a.m. in the Tenderloin when police say an employee for the non-profit Urban Alchemy was hit by the driver.

Officers spotted the vehicle about an hour later driving recklessly.

That’s when a police pursuit began and the student was struck when the suspect sped past the school.

The chase ended on the Embarcadero near Green Street where the suspect was arrested.
