MAN HURT IN CAR CRASH A San Francisco pedestrian was run down and critically injured early yesterday. Two other men were hurt in a thirteen-car pileup which tied up rush hour traffic on the Stn Mateo bridge for more than half an hour. Charles J. Clark, 55, was rush hour traffic on the San pital with a possible fractured skull after he was hit at Fifth and Mission Street by an auto driven by Edward R. Brachias, 24, of 208 Fourteenth Street. CARRIED 35 FEET Clark, who lives at 315 Fifth Street, was carried thirty-five feet on the car hood. Brachias, a truck driver, told investigators Clark was crossing Fifth Street against the signal when the accident occurred. On the peninsula approach to the San Mateo-Hayward bridge, truck driver Fred K. Nakagawa, 28, was eastbound when his vehicle skidded out of control and sideswiped a westbound dump truck driven by Virgil F. Moeller, 30. Moeller was tossed to the roadway while his empty truck plunged into a twenty foot ditch, and the accident set off a chain reaction of rear end collisions which involved eleven other cars.
