SAN FRANCISCO, July 12 (UPI) -- A student driver in California hit six pedestrians in a crosswalk, sending three of the victims to hospitals, one by airlift, authorities said.

Farhat Mohammed, 20, was learning to drive on her learner's permit and was with a licensed driver when she made a left turn on a Livermore, Calif., street and struck the six adults Saturday evening, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Surrounding streets were closed for about 3 hours as police investigated the incident and examined Mohammed's Honda Civic, the newspaper said.

None of the victims' injuries were life-threatening, authorities said.
