SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) - A five-year-old boy was hit by a shuttle bus while crossing a street in San Francisco's Bayview District Thursday afternoon and was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.

A woman was walking with two children southbound on Third Street at Williams Street around 3:30 p.m.

The woman had a one child immediately with her and the five-year-old was trailing behind her as they crossed the street, according to police.

A private shuttle bus was driving eastbound on Williams Street and struck the boy as it turned right onto Third Street.
