Two people have died in a hit-and-run crash in Oakland, after a speeding car — which was later found to be stolen — collided with their vehicle just before 10 a.m. on Sunday morning, according to a statement from the Oakland Police Department.
The driver of the other car, a 25-year-old man from Oakland, rammed into the victims’ vehicle at 73rd Avenue and Holly Street at a “high rate of speed,” according to the Oakland Police Department. The force of the collision caused the impacted car to roll over and hit a parked vehicle, authorities said. The 25-year-old tried to flee the crash on foot before being detained and arrested by police.
Both the driver and passenger of the impacted car were killed in the crash — a 64-year-old man from Richmond and a 67-year-old woman from Antioch, respectively. A rear passenger in the car, a 48-year-old man from Richmond, was transported to the hospital with injuries.
At this stage, it is unknown if alcohol or drugs were a factor in the collision, but the Oakland Police Department Traffic Investigation Unit is asking anyone with information on the crash to contact their team at 510 777 8570.
