May 17 (UPI) — Three people were killed and five others were hurt late Saturday when a vehicle struck and killed pedestrians and cars in Oakland, Calif., authorities said.<\/p>\n

Three of those injured were hospitalized in critical condition as a result of the 11:45 p.m. incident, the Oakland Fire Department said in a social media post<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Two others, including the suspected juvenile driver, sustained minor injuries, police told local media.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video footage from the corner in East Oakland obtained by KGO-TV<\/a> showed what appears to be a pickup truck driving onto a sidewalk at high speeds and hitting multiple pedestrians.<\/p>\n

One witness told the station the driver first hit several vehicles in the street, then sped up and jumped the curb, where they plowed into a group of pedestrians.<\/p>\n

The suspected driver then allegedly ran from the truck.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday afternoon the Oakland Police Department had yet to issue an official statement on the incident, but Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee<\/a> sent condolences to the victims’ families and voiced praise for the first responders.\n<\/p>\n

“Oakland is mourning the lives lost in last night’s tragic crash at International Boulevard and 85th Avenue in East Oakland,” she said in a statement<\/a> issued to media outlets<\/a>. “Our hearts are with the victims, their families, loved ones, and all of those impacted.<\/p>\n

“Thank you to the Oakland Police Department, Oakland Fire Department, and our first responders.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three people were killed and five others injured when a vehicle ran onto an Oakland, Calif., sidewalk at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320544,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[2351,143,145,144,136,2281],"class_list":["post-320543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-barbara-lee","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news","tag-top-stories","tag-u-s"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320543","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=320543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320544"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
