A window washer was critically injured Friday morning when he plunged from a building in downtown San Francisco, falling 11 floors before smashing onto the roof of a moving car, authorities said.

The impact at California and Montgomery Streets caved in the roof, back window and trunk of a 2002 Toyota Camry, but the man was conscious when paramedics arrived.

The first 911 call reporting the incident came at 10:03 a.m., said Dan Dunnigan, a spokesman for the city fire department. Firefighters were dispatched at 10:05 a.m. and arrived three minutes later. Soon, the worker was taken, conscious but with life-threatening injuries, to San Francisco General Hospital.

Police said the window washer was on either a roof or scaffolding with another worker when he fell. His name was not given.

"Honey, did we just hit a pothole or something?"
