3 people killed, several others injured after driver crashes into crowd in Oakland

Authorities say a driver crashed into multiple cars and pedestrians late Saturday.

Three people were killed and several others were injured when a driver crashed into multiple cars and pedestrians late Saturday in Oakland, California, authorities said.

The crash happened shortly after 11 p.m., according to officials.

Three people were pronounced dead at the scene and five others were injured, the Oakland Fire Department said. Two of those injured were in critical condition. The driver involved in the crash was also injured, though officials described those injuries as minor.

Authorities did not immediately release additional details about what led to the crash, and the driver’s identity was not made public.

The crash remains under investigation, officials said.

Mayor Barbara Lee thanked first responders in a statement Sunday that said the city was mourning those who were killed in the “tragic crash.”

“Our hearts are with the victims, their families, loved ones, and all of those impacted,” Lee said.
