The San Jose Mercury News reports that a collision between an automobile and TWO streetcars on the San Francisco Muni's F Line on 8-3-09 resulted in the motor vehicle being "sandwiched" between the trains. F Line equipment consists of classic streetcars in paint schemes representative of the city railways that operated them.

Streetcars in above photo (Thanks, HokieNav!):

Muni operates a number of these "Peter Witt" cars (built 1927-1930) from Milan, Italy. Car number is difficult to discern in wreck shot above, but may be this one.

This one's easier to peg: SF MUNI PCC "Torpedo" Double-End (St. Louis Car Co., 1948) 1007, in colors of Philadelphia Suburban Transit Co.
