Up to 14 hurt in SF hit-and-run spree
7 critical; driver believed to have struck, killed a man in Fremont earlier

SAN FRANCISCO -- As many as 14 people were injured this afternoon by a motorist who drove around San Francisco running them down before he was arrested, authorities said.

Seven of those injured were in critical condition, police and firefighters said.

Authorities have identified the man who was arrested as Omeed Aziz Popal, who has addresses in Ceres (Stanislaus County) and Fremont.

Authorities said they believe Popal was the same driver who ran over and killed a 55-year-old man walking in a bicycle lane in Fremont, at Fremont Boulevard near Ferry Lane, just after noon. That crash scene is just blocks from Popal's Fremont address, where he had most recently been living.

Popal was arrested at a Walgreens at Spruce and California streets.

In San Francisco, the attacks began around 1 p.m., but it was unclear in what order:

• Two people, one of them a child, were critically injured around by a sport-utility vehicle on the 3500 block of California Street in Laurel Heights.

• Three people were hit at California and Fillmore streets. Witnesses said they included a man with a broken hip and a woman with a gashed head.

• Two people were seriously hurt at Bush and Pierce streets and one person was seriously injured at Bush and Buchanan streets, police said. One person suffered minor injuries in an incident at 1850 Fillmore Street.

• Two other people suffered minor injuries when they were hit at Pine and Divisadero streets, and another two were hit and suffered minor injuries at Divisadero and Bush Street.

"It was like 'Death Race 2000,' " firefighter Danny Bright said at California and Fillmore streets, as an ambulance stood nearby. "Guys were walking down the sidewalk and the guy just came up and ran them over. The guy went crazy.''

Fire Lt. Mindy Talmadge said Mayor Gavin Newsom had been notified and was coordinating the response with the command post at Spruce and California streets.

This afternoon, Newsom left City Hall saying he was en route to a hospital -- presumably San Francisco General, where seven people had been admitted.

"Eleven people were hurt in the field, and police are still finding others," said Lann Wilder, a spokeswoman for San Francisco General Hospital. Seven people ages 18-84 were being treated at San Francisco General, she said.

Wilder did not comment on the patients' conditions, but said she would provide further details later this afternoon.

Three people were taken to St. Francis Hospital, one to Kaiser and two others California Pacific Medical Center, Wilder said.

One victim, Pedro Aglugov, 70, was sitting at a table at a sidewalk cafe at California and Fillmore with his head bandaged with gauze, holding an ice pack to one elbow.

"He was going real fast," Aglugov said of the driver. "I was lucky I wasn't hurt more.''

Eliseo Billones Jr., 24, a canvasser for Greenpeace, was standing on the corner when Aglugov was hit.

"He was going berserk," Billones said of the driver. "It was a red light and he just ran the red light. I saw him (Aglugov) hit the corner of the bumper and tumble.''

Barclay Lynn, 39, of San Francisco, said she and a friend were driving east on Bush when they saw a black SUV driving away and saw a motorcyclist who had been hit.

"The motorcyclist stood in the intersection trying to signal the driver to stop,'' Lynn said. The SUV then "went speeding in reverse on Bush heading west, weaving in and out of traffic. The whole right side of his SUV was smashed in.''

At Frankie's Bohemian Cafe at Divisadero and Pine, a man named William, who asked that his last name not be used, said he was walking south on Divisadero when "we heard the thump, turned around, saw bodies flying.''

He described the vehicle as a black Honda Pilot SUV that looked new and had a windshield that was shattered on the right side.

The driver went down Pine and Bush, "stood on the gas,'' then a couple of minutes later "came flying up through the bus lane'' headed north on Divisadero.

Another man at the cafe, Max Bran, said, "We thought he was going to stop and give up, but instead he just stepped on the gas. It didn't matter, regardless of the lights.''

He saw a woman knocked down. "She was just crossing the street, just crossing the street," he said. "In fact, I had just crossed the street.''

The two men said someone who had been at the cafe earlier picked up a license plate from the SUV.

Authorities believe the same suspect struck and killed a pedestrian in Fremont earlier today.

That victim was walking north on Fremont Boulevard in the bicycle lane when he was struck from behind and knocked several feet into a field, Fremont Officer Alan Zambonin said.

He was pronounced dead at the scene. The black SUV, a Honda described as a Pilot or a CRV, made no attempt to stop or help the victim, police said.

The vehicle had right front end damage and a shattered windshield.

Zambonin said one witness saw the collision from about 1,000 feet away, then stopped to try to help the man, who was already dead.

Zambonin estimated the SUV was going as fast as 50 mph and sped away with a blown out windshield.

"It's a good possibility (the incidents) are all connected,'' Zambonin said.

When will people learn? We've got to have some sort of waiting list before people are allowed to purchase these death machines. We can't continue to allow everyone under the sun to buy these contraptions.

Leftist Equasion Below

Suv = Bad
Middle Easterner = Good

Suv + Middle Easterner = Okay

So you see they cancel each other out.

by lowerclassbrats on Tue Aug 29, 06 6:58pm [+]

Well, I don't think Islam is a religion of peace, but it could be the case of just one pyscho.

I read some interesting stuff about Hezbollah & the media war, when I get around to it, I'll post it.

by aya on Tue Aug 29, 06 7:01pm [+]

Rightist equation below

Neo Conservate = Good

Muslim = Bad

Neo Conservative + Muslim = Dichtomy

See how I can mess with the mind of the narrow?

by Steelhamster on Tue Aug 29, 06 7:11pm [+]

No spell check + Steelhamster = Dichtomy
: )

by lowerclassbrats on Tue Aug 29, 06 7:22pm [+]

But then again I just might be the worlds worst speller, so who am I to speak.

Hey LCB what 'religion of peace' do your guys represent with all those tens of thousands of innocent civilians murdered in Iraq by Americans with American weapons - or the 1000+ civilians killed by American weapons in Lebanon by the US sponsored Israelies?

by Ken_from_Dublin on Tue Aug 29, 06 7:40pm [+]

"Hey LCB what 'religion of peace' do your guys represent with all those tens of thousands of innocent civilians murdered in Iraq"

Irrelevant to the ballot topic, isn't it?

by aya on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:16pm [+]

Besides which, most Americans are opposed to U.S. foriegn policy, and LCB never mentioned that he was part of any 'religion of peace.'

Moreover, let's say it was terrorist related, because Muslims are angry about what Bush is doing in Iraq, doesn't give anyone the right to kill fellow citizens.

by aya on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:19pm [+]

I see no mention of Islam in the article. What am I missing?

by Applerod on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:25pm [+]

Applerod, he's asking if it was terrorist related. No, it apparently wasn't, by the article given. Herzog is talking about SUV's which has nothing to do about it.

by aya on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:27pm [+]

How odd...

by Applerod on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:36pm [+]

So this in fact has nothing to do with Islam.
Maybe lcb is conducting a sociological experiment.

by Applerod on Tue Aug 29, 06 8:47pm [+]

Herzog tries to use car ownership and gun ownership are the same argument.

A car is built to transort you from A to B.

What purpose is a gun built for?

by Steelhamster on Tue Aug 29, 06 9:02pm [+]

Answer: Hunting, protection, show (at conventions, museums).

by FiddleFaddleOnLSD on Tue Aug 29, 06 9:34pm [+]

What are they fundamentally used for?

Is a car built for killing?

Guns are built for that reason alone, or what purpose do they serve?

by Steelhamster on Tue Aug 29, 06 9:58pm [+]

This ballot is ridiculous.

by Chomsky on Wed Aug 30, 06 4:16am [+]

Voted : No
Where is there any mention of religion in the article?

by wideheadofknowledge on Wed Aug 30, 06 5:47am [+]

A woman who identified herself as Popal’s cousin said he had been having recurring nightmares about someone coming to kill him and had been taking medication.

‘‘He thought the devil was coming to him,’’ said Zargona Ramish, who went to the family’s home Tuesday afternoon while Popal’s relatives were speaking with police. ‘‘He is a very good person. He is not like that. What’s wrong with him?’’

Another cousin, Hamid Nekrawesh, said a recent arranged marriage in Afghanistan, where his family is from, may have contributed to Popal’s problems.

‘‘The kid grew up here. He wasn’t used to the lifestyle in Afghanistan. I’m sure that put a lot of pressure on him,’’ Nekrawesh said.

So, a terrorist on a bloody personal jihad in the streets of San Francisco?

Or a sad, confused, sick young man who needed help?

Funny how he couldn't adjust to life in Afghanistan - wow we must have done a good job over there.

The fact that this ballot was used as a swipe at Islam is unforgivable. Infact here comes some negative karma.

by wideheadofknowledge on Wed Aug 30, 06 5:59am [+]

Ah, that's better.

by wideheadofknowledge on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:02am [+]

Where does it say he was Muslim? Maybe he drove like that because he's Asian. IC_tune

by _Beelzebubba on Wed Aug 30, 06 9:51am [+]

Voted : No
Just no.

by Truthseeker013 on Wed Aug 30, 06 12:41pm [+]

Please refer to my comments on ballot #101151 for further clarification.

by Truthseeker013 on Wed Aug 30, 06 12:42pm [+]

Update: The suspect is an Afghani Muslim male who claims to be a terrorist. Oddly enough the mainstream media is not reporting this bit of information.

by lowerclassbrats on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:02pm [+]

"The fact that this ballot was used as a swipe at Islam is unforgivable. Infact here comes some negative karma."

Right back at'cha bitch.

by lowerclassbrats on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:15pm [+]

Again is there any link to his actually being a terrorism or just mentally incapacitated?

Many 'white' people commit crazy acts but their religion is irrelevant.

Or is this just a case of 'innocent till proven muslim'?

by Steelhamster on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:18pm [+]

Hmmm, does it stike anyone odd that this crime occured in front of a Jewish center? It seems to me another scum bag Muslim drove an suv into a crowd of people in North Carolina not too long ago.

by lowerclassbrats on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:21pm [+]

" Again is there any link to his actually being a terrorism or just mentally incapacitated? "

Invalid point Steely, an argument could be made that Osama is and Hitler was mentally incapacitated. Try again

by lowerclassbrats on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:25pm [+]

Steel was this man not a Muslim and did he not plow his suv through a mass of flesh for the purpose of inducing terror?

by lowerclassbrats on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:31pm [+]

Interesting how his act of mayhem, whether he be crazy or not, paralells the one by Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar just last March. See Ballot #89735

And then there is Naveed Haq, the Muslim who went on the shooting rampage at the Jewish Federation Building in Seattle just over a month ago.

by Jinn_the_Kafir on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:33pm [+]

lcb can you give me a source on that terrorist info please? (genuine)

by Applerod on Wed Aug 30, 06 6:49pm [+]

Muslim scumbag - LCB

So no predisposition for hatred there, and so I choose to ignore anything you say on this subject as your stance has now been proved irrelevant.

by Steelhamster on Wed Aug 30, 06 9:47pm [+]

And Jinn compare apples with oranges and like LCB shows his inherent hatred for all things Islam.

Just check my "sabotage" of this ballot.

Seems like someone has a problem accepting a damn good point.

by wideheadofknowledge on Wed Aug 30, 06 11:15pm [+]

I heard the suspect said he was a terrorist on a few different radio station's news segments.

by lowerclassbrats on Fri Sep 01, 06 5:09pm [+]

.... or should I say reported.

by lowerclassbrats on Fri Sep 01, 06 5:11pm [+]

Steely I believe I've been very up front with my feelings of disdain for Islam. For anyone who has read my posts on the subject, I believe my position is most obvious. Now Steely if only you would be as forthcoming with your hatred for all things Christian.
