San Francisco firefighters attend the scene where Cruise, General Motors' robotaxi unit, said one of their autonomous vehicles struck and injured a pedestrian who had first been struck by another human-driven vehicle which fled the scene, in San Francisco, California, US Oct 2, 2023.

A pedestrian was struck late Monday by a hit-and-run driver and thrown into an adjacent lane and hit a second time by the Cruise robotaxi, which was not able to stop in time, the company said. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday it "is aware of the incident and is in contact with the operator and local authorities to gather additional information."

The DMV in August said it was investigating "recent concerning incidents" involving Cruise vehicles in San Francisco and asked the company to take half its robotaxis off the roads, a request Cruise complied with.
