A 40-year-old man turned himself in to authorities after he struck a bicyclist at the intersection of Market and Octavia streets late Sunday night and allegedly fled the scene of the accident, police said today.

A 27-year-old San Francisco woman was riding eastbound on Market Street with a small dog at 11:53 p.m. when she was struck by the vehicle, which was traveling southbound on Octavia Street, Sgt. Neville Gittens said.

The woman suffered life-threatening injuries and the dog was killed, according to Gittens.
