A 16-year-old Oakland male was arrested on charges of vehicular manslaughter and hit and run after back-to-back collisions ended in the death of a 15-year-old female passenger and sent three other girls to the hospital Friday morning, according to police.<\/p>\n
Around 9:40 a.m. Friday, a Toyota Corolla containing the five juveniles was involved in a collision with another vehicle near the intersection of 14th Avenue and East 31st Street in Oakland, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
The 16-year-old male driver of the Toyota fled the scene and merged eastbound onto Interstate 580.<\/p>\n
The driver who was struck by the Corolla followed in pursuit and called the police to share details of the crash.<\/p>\n
The suspect then exited the freeway on 35th Avenue and traveled southbound at a high rate of speed. At an intersection in the 3300 block of 35th Ave., the Corolla was struck by a third vehicle, causing it to careen into a concrete wall, authorities said.<\/p>\n
All occupants of the Corolla were taken to hospitals. The 15-year-old girl, located in a rear passenger seat, died less than an hour later. The conditions of the other girls in the crash were not available Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
The suspect was taken to a hospital in critical but stable condition. Police placed him under arrest.<\/p>\n
