OAKLAND — A woman was killed and a man injured in a head-on traffic collision early Sunday in East Oakland that appears to have been alcohol related, police said.
The name of the woman killed, a 28-year-old Oakland resident, was not immediately released.
The collision happened about 2:40 a.m. Sunday in the 6300 block of San Leandro Street.
Police said the woman was driving a Honda Civic eastbound in the westbound traffic lanes when it collided head-on with a Ford cargo van that was going westbound.
After the initial collision, a Nissan Altima that was traveling westbound on San Leandro Street was sideswiped by an Infiniti SUV that was also traveling westbound, police said. The Infiniti then hit the Honda while the woman was still inside. The Infiniti driver left the scene, police said.
