SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- Two driverless Cruise cars blocked a street and delayed an ambulance transporting a critically injured pedestrian to a hospital, according to the San Francisco Fire Department. The pedestrian, who had been struck by a car on Harrison and 7th streets, died after reaching the hospital.More than a dozen incidents in which Cruise and Waymo's self-driving cars interfered with emergency responders were detailed in SFFD records obtained and published by Forbes on Friday.Firefighters said two stalled Cruise cars caused the ambulance to be delayed on August 14 while the pedestrian was bleeding heavily from "significant left lower extremity injuries." "When we arrived at scene, the only open lanes for egress from the call were blocked by two Cruise vehicles that had stopped and were not moving or leaving the scene. We were unable to leave the scene initially due to the Cruise vehicles not moving. This delay, no matter how minimal, contributed to a poor patient outcome,...

(KRON) -- The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Narcan for over-the-counter back in March. Shipments are currently on their way to pharmacies and stores.There seems to be some confusion in California where many thought that over-the-counter Narcan was already available without a prescription. KRON4 worked to get some answers, and this is what we found. Hundreds of drug users arrested in San Francisco Harm reduction specialists at the Overdose Awareness Event on Thursday were under the impression that Narcan was able to be purchased at any pharmacy in California without a prescription. If you to a pharmacy, you’ll find out that’s not the case.KRON4 first went to a Walgreens in San Francisco to try to get Narcan. “So you need a prescription to get it over the counter here?" The pharmacy replied, "Yes."The case was the same at a Safeway Pharmacy.Director of Overdose Prevention Policy and Strategy for the National Harm Reduction Coalition Mary Silla explained how states like...

NEW YORK (AP) — Daniel Vogelbach hit a tiebreaking single with two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Mets cooled off the first-place Seattle Mariners with a 2-1 victory Friday night.Brandon Nimmo homered, Kodai Senga struck out 12 and Ronny Mauricio had two hits in his major league debut for New York — including a double in his first at-bat that was the hardest-hit ball by a Mets player this season.Seattle went 0 for 10 with runners on base.“Voge came up with a big at-bat there at the end,” said Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford, who homered in the fourth inning. “Senga kept us off balance pretty much all night.

The Astros fell to the Yankees 6-2, while the Rangers lost to Minnesota 5-1.“Anytime you give up two runs, y...

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Jason Bean threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns in place of injured star Jalon Daniels, helping Kansas overcame some early malaise and beat Missouri State 48-17 on Friday night in the season opener for both teams.Devin Neal had touchdowns on the ground and through the air, and Dylan McDuffie, Daniel Hishaw and Sevion Morrison hit the end zone, as the Jayhawks opened a season of high expectations against a team from the Football Championship Subdivision.Daniels, the preseason Big 12 offensive player of the year, missed a portion of the Jayhawks’ fall camp with a back injury. He warmed up before the game but spent the entirety of it wearing a headset on the sideline, and it was unclear whether he will be available when Kansas faces a big step up against Illinois next week.Missouri State, led by new coach Ryan Beard, took advantage of an early turnover and fourth-down stop to take a 10-7 lead in the second quarter. The Jayhawks proved to be too much, putting the...
