One person was killed, and police are searching for two drivers after a double hit-and-run along Highway 13 in Oakland late Sunday night, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Just before 11 p.m., the CHP received a report that a driver in a Zipcar was involved in a crash on southbound Highway 13, south of Lincoln Avenue. The Zipcar came to a stop in the slow lane, and the driver of the other vehicle, a black sedan, fled the scene, the CHP said.
Shortly after the initial crash, the Zipcar driver and passenger, both men, got out of the car and stood nearby, the CHP said.
As the passenger was standing on the right shoulder, the driver of another black sedan came up on the Zipcar, slammed on their brakes and swerved to the right, according to the CHP. The driver avoided the Zipcar but struck the passenger standing on the shoulder, killing them. The driver of the Zipcar was not injured.
