OAKLAND, Calif. – Three pedestrians were killed and several others were hurt when a car rammed into them late Saturday night in East Oakland.
What we know:
The crash happened at about 11:15 p.m. in the area of International Boulevard and 85th Avenue.
A witness said the incident began with a collision between a blue vehicle and a black SUV outside the East Bay Market Liquor Store.
The SUV then accelerated and drove onto the sidewalk, and rammed into the pedestrians, before crashing into another car, said Cornelius Reed.
Reed said he tried to help the injured victims, and that several of them were friends he had known for his entire life.
“I ran over there, but I couldn’t do nothing for nobody,” Reed said. “I mean legs, legs bent opposite directions, arms going every which way. It was ugly. It was an ugly scene.”
Reed said the driver got out of the SUV and tried to run away, but was caught by good Samaritans before Oakland police officers arrived.
Some of the injured who survived the initial crash were rushed to the hospital.
What we don’t know:
KTVU is awaiting a comment from the Oakland Police Department, as officers have been at the scene overnight investigating what happened.
So far, there’s no official word about the suspect.
