SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A motorcyclist hit by a San Francisco fire truck with a suspected drunk firefighter at the wheel filed a lawsuit Monday against the city and county of San Francisco.

It’s been four months since the accident, and no charges have been filed against the fire truck driver, 43-year-old Michael Quinn. The district attorney’s office says they’re still working the case. But, Quinn and the city and county of San Francisco have just been slapped with a lawsuit.

The surveillance video obtained exclusively by the I-Team shows what happened. Jack Frazier, 50, appears on a motorcycle at the top of the screen. The fire truck blows through the red light hitting Frazier, sending him across Howard Street into a fire hydrant.
