Car drives into Muni tunnel, suspends downtown service

Speaking of downtown transportation in the city, San Francisco Muni service is still shut down in both directions after a car drove into a Muni tunnel. SFMTA first reported the incident around 345 yesterday afternoon. A spokesperson says the car drove onto the trackway by the Embarcadero. Muni is instead running shuttle buses and getting mutual aid from BART with trains running between Balboa Park and Embarcadero. A KTVU crew on the ground captured this footage of the scene. You can see the car stopped at the tunnel entrance a Muni spokesperson says getting that car out of that tunnel could cause further damage to the tracks and the lines so that is why crews had to shut down service along the entire Market Street corridor as they inspected the track the SFMTA calls this a private vehicle and says the driver ditched the car inside the tunnel local law enforcement was spotted at the scene again Market Street subway service between Van and Embarcadero is down no word yet about when it will be restored
