Bicyclist struck by car along Panhandle Thursday night

 A bicyclist was struck by a car along San Francisco's Panhandle on Thursday night, police and fire officials said today.

The accident was reported at 9:40 p.m. at the intersection of Fell and Lyon streets, fire department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said.

The 25-year-old man riding the bicycle was struck and hit the hood and windshield of the car, said police Capt. John Feeney from the department's Park Station.

The bicyclist was wearing a helmet and was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries that are not considered life-threatening, Feeney said.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the bicyclist stopped at the scene and called 911, he said.

Police are investigating whether the driver or bicyclist had the right-of-way at the intersection. The driver was not cited, Feeney said.

Feeney, who just took over last week as the captain overseeing the Park District Station, said the accident served as a reminder for drivers and bicyclists to both be vigilant on the roads.

"With the increase in bicycling in the city, especially in the Panhandle area, we want to reiterate that drivers and bike riders respect each other," he said.

Crews clear rocks, reopen busy Yosemite highway

A busy highway in Yosemite National Park is set to reopen, just a week after house-size boulders crashed down on it during last week's storm.

Park officials say the Big Oak Flat Road portion of Highway 120 will be cleared by 8 a.m. Saturday.

The park's roads and trails crew have been working to clear the busy highway used by visitors driving in from Northern California. The road will have a gravel surface for weekend traffic, and visitors are urged to drive slowly through the area.

During next week, the crew plans to close the road again to repave the damaged area.

Employee data at Redwood City hospital breached

 Officials with Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City say the names and Social Security numbers of nearly 400 hospital employees were inadvertently posted to a public website.

The San Mateo County Times reported the breach on Thursday. It occurred in October 2007, but the information was not removed until last month after hospital officials learned of the error.

The hospital says an employee at a firm it contracts with, Towers Watson, posted the information online. The posting was apparently unintentional, and none of the employees reported becoming victims of identity theft.

Hospital officials say the information was not prominently displayed but could have been accessed through a targeted Internet search.

Towers Watson said in a statement it regretted the breach and maintains a strong commitment to protecting clients' data.
