Victim of Sunday MUNI Accident Identified

As some of you may or may not know, there was an accident involving the N near 2nd and King Street. However, until this morning, as I was going through my mail, did I know who the person was or how they were doing.
Both Reader Allan (he of the awesome Mission Mission blog) and Reader Brian sent in this link and this one indicating that the person injured was in fact Bill Brand, a well known reporter for the Tribune and now a popular writer on beer-related issues with his column “What’s on Tap” and wrote for the BottomsUp blog. Word is he’s in critical condition.
I can’t even imagine how horrific this must have been, and we should all send prayers and good energy his way so he makes it through this. These kinds of stories are just sad.
