In an unsettling incident on a typical Monday, a San Francisco cable car suddenly came to a jolting stop, leaving fourteen passengers nursing minor to moderate injuries. The unexpected halt occurred at 1351 California Street, which is nestled conveniently between Leavenworth and Hyde streets. Talk about taking “the scenic route” to a whole new level!
The San Francisco Fire Department was quick to respond, and initial assessments indicate that the injuries suffered by those onboard were not too severe. However, images from the scene highlighted the cracked windshield of the cable car, giving just a glimpse of the distress experienced by riders. Fire officials were spotted examining the vehicle, ensuring that such cabling chaos doesn’t become the norm.
As this story develops, it serves as a stark reminder of how easily things can go awry—one moment you’re enjoying the sights of San Francisco, and the next, you’re gripping the handrail for dear life. Here’s hoping the repairs are swift and that future rides are less eventful!
