OAKLAND, Calif. – A 59-year-old Concord<\/a> man is fighting for his life after being struck in a hit-and-run crash in Oakland<\/a> last Wednesday, an incident his family says happened just after he finished a graffiti cleanup job.<\/p>\n Surveillance video shows a car speeding down 23rd Street near Broadway in Uptown Oakland. Seconds later, the victim is seen lying motionless on the ground. A bystander runs to his aid, and others quickly rush in to help before first responders arrive.<\/p>\n Anthony Pinelli, the victim, remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit.<\/p>\n His family says he suffered a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull, severe injuries that nearly severed his spine, and multiple other injuries.<\/p>\n His daughter, Sierra Pinelli, said the family is still reeling.<\/p>\n “He left. I said goodbye to him and then the next thing I know, I found out that he was ran over by a stolen vehicle who ran off and we still haven’t caught him,” she said. “I was shocked, worried and we’re all just really upset that this happened.”<\/p>\n Police told the family the driver later abandoned the car, which had been reported stolen.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pinelli works as an independent contractor, often cleaning graffiti or doing construction cleanup. His family said that just before 6 p.m., he had finished removing graffiti from a business on 23rd Street. As he crossed the street to throw something away and returned to his car, he was hit.<\/p>\n Family, neighbors shaken <\/p>\n “It\u2019s absolutely horrific,” Sierra said. “The unnerving feeling of unknown, of what’s going to happen next with him. He’s clinging on for dear life right now, he’s undergone multiple surgeries.”<\/p>\n Pinelli is a father of five, and his family says he does not have paid leave. They have created a GoFundMe page<\/a> to help cover long-term medical expenses.<\/p>\n Ryan Baker, who lives in a nearby building where the crash occurred, said neighbors quickly tried to help.<\/p>\n “We were shocked. We have a group Discord in our building that immediately notified everyone to call for any help from a medical professional in the building. This has been a challenging street to live on for a long time. It’s quite busy,” Baker said.<\/p>\n Residents say drivers often speed along the street to avoid traffic on nearby Broadway.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s rough, he’s unresponsive right now, due to his brain injury,” Sierra said.<\/p>\n Oakland police have not made any arrests and say the investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n Oakland<\/a>Concord<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a>News<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND, Calif. – A 59-year-old Concord man is fighting for his life after being struck in a hit-and-run…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244584,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[389,1184,391,392,2042,100,143,145,144,1181],"class_list":["post-244583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-alameda-county","tag-ca","tag-concord","tag-contra-costa-county","tag-crime-publicsafety","tag-news","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244583"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244583\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/244584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244583"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
