Police are investigating an apparent hit-and-run collision that killed a pedestrian in Oakland over the weekend.<\/p>\n
According to the Oakland Police Department, a man was walking just before 6 a.m. Saturday in a marked crosswalk in the area of 17th Street and Lakeside Drive when a fast-moving vehicle on northbound Lakeside Drive struck him.<\/p>\n
“When officers arrived, they found an adult male in the intersection on the ground. Officers attempted lifesaving measures, but unfortunately the man died at the scene,” police officials said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The driver did not stop the vehicle and fled the scene, police said. The suspect has not yet been located, as of 6 a.m. Monday.<\/p>\n
The victim’s identity was withheld pending next of kin notification. Police also did not immediately confirm if alcohol or drugs were involved in the crash.<\/p>\n
