SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A worker fell screaming 11 stories from the roof of a bank building Friday morning onto a moving car, crushing its roof and sending shattered glass flying into the street, police and witnesses said.

The man suffered critical injuries, but he was conscious, police said.

The car's driver, Mohammad Alcozai, was not injured. He told KGO_TV that he's happy to be alive especially after his car's roof almost completely collapsed in the accident. He said he is praying that the worker survives.

"I'm very happy that I wasn't hurt," Alcozai told the news channel shortly after the accident. "Hopefully he can make it. I pray for him that he can make it."

Alcozai said he saw something hit his car shortly after making a left turn.

Witnesses described seeing a blue streak and the man's shadow as he fell and then hearing shattering glass as he hit the car and then rolled onto the ground. The roof of the car, a green Toyota Camry, was smashed in, and the rear windshield shattered.

Bianca Bahman, who was on the corner where the man fell, said she looked up to see his shadow and ran for cover.

"As he was coming down, he was definitely screaming," Bahman, 31, a pre-medical student at San Francisco State University who was on her way to the gym, said. "It all happened so quickly. It was so instantaneous."

The man, identified by police only as window washer, was moving equipment on the roof of a bank building in the heart of San Francisco's financial district and not on a window-washing platform when he fell, San Francisco police Sgt. Danielle Newman said. The platform was on the ground at the side of the building, and cables were hanging from its sides. It was not clear whether the man was setting the platform up, but he was working with a partner, police said.

NASHUA Like many New England colleges, Rivier University is facing a dilemma: Should it emphasize the brick-and-mortar traditions of the past or the click-and-interact possibilities of the future?

For the moment, the answer to that question seems to be yes. It is expanding online courses for students who rarely or never come to Nashua even as it spends millions on making the approach to campus from Main Street better looking and the rest of campus more like an academic enclave.

Call it the clicks-and-mortar approach, which is partly an economic juggling act, partly a reach for new horizons, and partly the latest example of change that belies the staid image of what many still think of as a Catholic nursing school.

We have been expanding our mission for a long time, said the university president, Sister Paula Marie Buley, in a recent interview about the schools present and future.

She ticked off a variety of steps, from night and weekend classes for adults, to the 2006 addition of Ph.D. programs that now have 79 students, that have changed the school in recent decades. The growth in online-only or online-and-classroom hybrid degrees the school offers eight of them, with more coming is the latest step, she said.

To an extent, these are steps born of necessity.

The number of high school graduates in New Hampshire and New England is falling and probably will continue to fall for many years. A college or university that depends on more tuition-paying teenagers to keep the lights on will face troubles. Part of the adjustment involves cutting back; Rivier still faces some criticism for dropping the Music and Art Department and cutting the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

Its not alone in cutting programs in an attempt to balance costs and income. Daniel Webster has made huge changes since ITT bought it, notably dropping the flight programs that were its foundation, while Franklin Pierce University in Rindge has eliminated several degrees, including mathematics. Looming over all private schools is the reminder of Chester College, a small New Hampshire school that closed abruptly in 2012 when its tuition-dependent finances failed.
