Oakland, CA (June 14, 2021) – A 45-year-old man was killed and two other people sustained serious injuries after a multi-vehicle accident occurred on Sunday night, June 13, in East Oakland, police reported on Monday.
The name of the victim killed was not released, and he is identified only as an Oakland resident at this time. The multi-car crash happened around 7:00 p.m. Sunday in the 10100 block of San Leandro Street. Officers say that the victim was driving a Cadillac DTS eastbound on San Leandro when he collided with a Toyota Camry traveling westbound. Debris from the collision hit another car, an Acura MDX SUV, which was also traveling westbound on San Leandro. No one in the Acura SUV was injured.
The two-car crash caused the Cadillac's driver to hit a cement BART track pillar on the north side of the street. The man was ejected due to the impact, and paramedics rushed him to an area hospital via ambulance. He was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later. The driver of the Toyota, a 21-year-old woman, and her passenger, a 21-year old man, were also transported to a hospital but are in stable condition.
The investigation is ongoing, and further details on the circumstances causing the wreck have not been released.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim. Our thoughts are with the injured victims in hopes of a full recovery.
Throughout the Bay Area of California, authorities reported 35,000 traffic accidents ending in fatalities or major injuries. The risk of serious accidents has increased significantly on Bay Area roadways, especially over the last several years. As a result, thousands of lives are lost annually on the Golden State's highways, including major thoroughfares connecting large city centers, including the Bay Area, Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, and beyond. Local streets and busy intersections are also hot spots for collisions causing critical injuries and death.
Serious car accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities are an unfortunately common part of life in California, particularly in busy city centers like San Francisco and the surrounding Bay Area. When multiple victims are injured in an accident or several drivers involved, the circumstances only get more complicated. Victims and their families may have to deal with other drivers' insurance companies, long-term physical pain, and expensive hospital bills. Occasionally, victims succumb to their injuries after a crash, leaving their grieving families to pick up the pieces while dealing with emotional trauma and financial difficulties.
