A woman in her 60s who was using a crosswalk in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley neighborhood was struck and killed Thursday by an SUV driver who circled back to look at the fallen victim before speeding away, police said. The hit-and-run at 11:15 a.m. at the intersection of Visitacion Avenue and Bayshore Boulevard marked the city's sixth pedestrian fatality of the year and 12th since December, a run of bloodshed that has put a spotlight on a longtime problem and prompted calls for more aggressive action.
