Police in Oakland arrested one driver and were searching for a second in a fatal hit and run that involved two vehicles and a pedestrian late Tuesday night.
At about 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, officers responded to International Boulevard and 54th Avenue on a report of a crash involving a pedestrian, police said.
A pedestrian walking across International Boulevard was struck by a vehicle and pushed farther into the roadway, where a second vehicle hit the victim, police said. The victim died at the scene.
The first vehicle was disabled by the collision, and its occupants fled on foot, but the driver was tracked down and arrested, police said. The second vehicle sped away from the scene.
Preliminary investigation found the abandoned vehicle was reported stolen in a neighboring city, police said.
It is unknown if drugs or alcohol factored in the collisions, police said.
The victim's identity was being withheld pending notification of family.
