[UPDATE: Joe Eskenazi has the update.]
Brent Begin and BIKE NOPA have the details of last nights fatal collision on Masonic Avenue near Turk Street and Golden Gate Avenue.
The intersection of Turk and Masonic as it appears today.
Looking northwest:
Blue EMT gloves and burned-out flares are the only indication of yesterday’s fatal collision:
Apparently, the driver of a 1989 Mercedes Benz was booked on vehicular manslaughter charges last night. That’s it for details for now.

Read this bit here over at BIKE NOPA to see that at least one SFPD lieutenant doesn’t consider the death of pedestrian Melissa Dennison to be a case of vehicular manslaughter. According to Lt. Ramlin of Park Station, at this point:
“There is no determination that it was manslaughter.”
The memorial at Fell and Broderick as it appeared a few days ago:
(Personally, I think when people use the term “speeding” in regards to traffic on Fell and Oak, they’re not saying what mean. Are they talking about cars literally going more than 30 mph? It’s not clear.)
The police report should be coming out soon…
