A San Francisco bus driver has been charged with misdemeanor
vehicular manslaughter for the death of a pedestrian who was struck in a
Castro district crosswalk last summer.
The San Francisco Chronicle ( http://bit.ly/zXINdV)
says 36-year-old Wallace Loggins was driving his empty San Francisco
Municipal Transportation Agency bus to a new assignment when he ran over
23-year-old Emily Dunn on Aug. 19.
Loggins was released on $10,000 bail after he was arrested and booked on Saturday. His arraignment has been set for Friday.
Loggins was making a left turn when his 40-foot bus struck and killed Dunn as she was about to reach the curb.
Prosecutors say Loggins was negligent for not seeing Dunn crossing the street.
