A 38-year-old man sustained severe head injuries after a two-vehicle accident Friday in Oakland.
As per the initial information, the hit-and-run collision was reported just after 4 p.m. in the 800 block of East 15th Street. The preliminary reports showed that the bicyclist was heading east on East 15th Street in a bike lane and was struck as he was going through the intersection at Eighth Avenue. The bicyclist reportedly had a green light, and the driver of the Cadillac Escalade went through a red light while going south on Eighth Avenue.
After the accident, the driver of the Cadillac put the car in reverse and traveled east of East 15th Street. The cyclist was only identified as a 38-year-old Oakland man. Speed appears to have contributed to the collision. Authorities are still searching for the driver of a Cadillac Escalade. No other details are available.
The incident remains under active review.
