7:08 am
been damaged and is now leaning up against. building. >> reporter: police say that the man does have a criminal history. so they are looking into that as one of the reasons why he possibly didn't stop. san leandro police arrested the man and oakland police are handling the crash. the woman was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. one of the things that is crazy, this isn't the first time something like this has happened to the liquor store. if you take a look, you can see all of these barriers set up. it looks like a car had actually hit right next to where the spot was in the path. so obviously, the owners know this is an issue. live from oakland, i'm tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, tara. 7:08. a pedestrian in san francisco has been taken to the hospital after being hit by a taxicab. this happened about ten minutes before midnight in north beach, where broadway meets montgomery. police say the pedestrian had to be transported to sf general. so far no word on the condition of the victim.

7:11 am
allowed them to actually go inside and that's how they found the body. initially, officers thought that the man died of natural causes because he's elderly. they located an i.d. that tells them he's 80 years old. after investigating more, they said, again, they found evidence that leads them to believe that this is suspicious. so a homicide lieutenant has been alerted. detectives have not been called. but again, crime scene investigators are here to collect evidence just as a precaution. the coroner again is here examining the body. they are also going to collect it and an autopsy will be done later on to determine a cause of death. so again, a lot of unknowns still here. police do not have the road blocked off here at 4th and julian. but there are patrol units here watching over as investigators collect their evidence for this
