SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Police say two women died in San Francisco after a taxi cab jumped the curb following a collision with another vehicle then struck pedestrians on a sidewalk at a busy street corner.

The crash happened around 4:30 p.m. Sunday in the South of Market neighborhood.

San Francisco police said the taxi was involved in a collision with a Mercedes, then ended up on the sidewalk.
