The victim, who
was not officially identified, suffered life-threatening
injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital, San Francisco
Police Department spokeswoman Grace Gatpandan said in a
statement.
Gatpandan said the man was setting up his board when he was hit
by the gust of wind around 3:15 p.m. and carried on to the
southbound lanes of the Great Highway on the city's western
coast.
Witnesses told local broadcaster CBS San Francisco that the man
was dragged by the wind from Ocean Beach, through a parking lot
and onto the highway before he was hit by an SUV.
