Apparent Tech Bus Accident Damages Multiple Cars on Castro Street
A Monday morning mishap with what appears to be a tech bus smashed up at least four cars on Castro Street near 20th Street, with pictures and video starting to emerge on social media.
San Francisco has pretty much gotten over its outward animosity toward tech buses, but a handful of people who were parked on Castro Street Monday morning have fresh reason to be resentful of the tech bus shuttles. A Monday morning Reddit post asking “Why have the police closed Castro Street?” brought numerous commenters saying things along the lines of “A tech bus plowed down the hill backwards through a bunch of traffic.” KPIX has confirmed that a commuter bus struck multiple vehicles on Castro between 20th and 21st streets, and adds that at least one person was injured.
Someone posted the aftermath video below saying, “A google bus lost its power while going up the hill and roll back and hit 9 cars this morning outside of my place.” We cannot confirm the commuter bus had any affiliation with Google, and KPIX says “at least four vehicles” suffered major damage in the incident.

...hmmm..... lost power going up hill and rolled back .... gee .... if I wasn't concerned about the people who may have gotten hurt, I'd see some humor.
