BACKGROUND:

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating a vehicle collision that occurred on January 1, 2024, in the 4200 block of International Boulevard, just before 12:45 AM. The OPD Communications Division received a report that a pedestrian was transported to an area hospital after sustaining injuries from being struck by a vehicle. Unfortunately, the pedestrian succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the collision occurred in the intersection of 42nd Avenue & International Boulevard. Officers located evidence on scene placing the pedestrian on the sidewalk when a vehicle doing “donuts” traveled off the roadway, striking the pedestrian. The driver fled the scene in the vehicle after the incident.

The pedestrian's identity is being withheld pending notification to the next of kin.

It is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved.

This incident is still under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact the OPD Traffic Investigation Unit at (510) 777-8570.
