Muni 14, 14R Routes Resume After Mission Collision
San Francisco's outbound 14 and 14R Muni routes have returned to normal service after a collision at Mission and Rice streets temporarily blocked buses Thursday. The incident, which didn't involve a Muni vehicle, disrupted service for riders traveling through the Mission District. Transit officials confirmed the routes resumed regular operations after the scene was cleared.
Non-Muni Collision Blocks Key Mission District Intersection
The collision occurred at the intersection of Mission and Rice streets, a busy corridor for Muni's 14 and 14R routes that serve the Mission District. While the crash didn't involve a transit vehicle, it blocked the roadway and prevented outbound buses from passing through. San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials said the incident required coordination with city emergency responders to clear the scene. The 14 and 14R routes are among the busiest in the Muni system, carrying thousands of riders daily through one of the city's most densely populated neighborhoods.
Service Restoration Timeline and Rider Impact
The disruption began Thursday afternoon when the collision blocked outbound service at Mission and Rice streets. Transit officials didn't specify exactly how long the blockage lasted, but confirmed service returned to normal operations after the scene was cleared. The agency announced the restoration through its social media channels, alerting riders that buses could resume their regular routes through the intersection. Officials didn't provide details about whether alternate routes were established during the disruption or how many trips were affected.
Quick Response Minimizes Delays
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency officials worked with emergency responders to clear the collision scene and restore bus service. The agency didn't release information about the nature of the collision or whether injuries occurred. Transit officials said the quick response helped minimize delays for riders who depend on the 14 and 14R routes for commuting and daily travel through the Mission District.
