An outspoken atheist, he at times seemed to denigrate religion. “There’s simply no polite way to tell people they’ve dedicated their lives to an illusion,” he said in a 2013 interview with The New York Times.

“I blame [Gavin] Newsom,” said Rick Juarez, 53, referencing the California governor as he entered the store to stock up on batteries. He had shopped at this location for “at least” 20 years. “Too many taxes, too high the minimum wage. These companies just can’t compete, and so they have to close. And it’s poor people like us who end up suffering.”

Less than a week after a fatal crash that killed a family of four at a bus stop in San Francisco’s West Portal neighborhood, authorities were called to the scene of another collision across from Golden Gate Park that sent one man to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.On Saturday at approximately 4:50 p.m., police and firefighters arrived at the intersection of Fulton Street and Park Presidio Boulevard to find a “yield to pedestrians” sign toppled over and a man on the ground near the bus shelter, which services the 5 Fulton route.The man, who had reportedly been struck by an oncoming vehicle, was transported to the hospital, and the driver was “cited on scene for multiple moving violations,” SFPD public information officer Robert Rueca told SFGATE in an email.It’s not clear if the pedestrian has been released from the hospital, and the cause of the crash is still under investigation.The collision was less than a mile from Fulton Street and Arguello Boulevard, where a 72-year-old man was struck and killed by a car in February — the first pedestrian death in the city this year, according to Walk SF, an organization that advocates for pedestrian safety in San Francisco.Fulton Street is part of the “high-injury network” identified by Vision Zero SF, an initiative implemented by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency to eliminate traffic deaths and injuries in the city, meaning it is among the 12% of streets where 68% of crashes occur.Fulton Street from Arguello to 2nd Avenue and Fulton Street from 42nd Avenue to 43rd Avenue are two of the corridors in consideration for 33 speed cameras that are set to be installed by SFMTA by 2025; the agency cited “unsafe speed” as “one of the most common primary collision factors in crashes that result in injuries.”Anyone with more information on Saturday’s crash is encouraged to call SFPD at 415-575-4444 or text a tip to TIP411.
