San Leandro, CA—On Sunday, March 9, 2025, a hit-and-run collision involving three vehicles resulted in one person being hospitalized with injuries, according to KRON.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the accident took place at approximately 5 p.m. on northbound I-880, just north of Marina Boulevard.
The CHP reports that one of the vehicles was suspected to be at fault in the accident and attempted to flee. The suspect vehicle had two occupants, neither of whom was injured.
Another vehicle involved also had two occupants with no reported injuries. The third vehicle involved had five occupants, one of whom was transported to the hospital after complaining of neck, head, and ankle pain.
The San Leandro Police Department initially pursued the vehicle believed to be at fault but discontinued the chase when the driver began driving the wrong way. The driver was later arrested by SLPD.
The CHP confirmed that drugs or alcohol were not factors in the crash. Investigators are continuing to determine what may have caused the accident.
California Hit-and-Run Laws
California Law requires drivers involved in a collision to stop their vehicle, notify law enforcement, and exchange insurance information with others involved. Failure to do so, considered to be a “hit-and-run,” is a misdemeanor in cases of property damage and a felony when someone has been injured.
Personal Injury Claims
When the actions of reckless drivers cause others to be injured, the cost of recovery should not fall on their victims. Filing a Personal Injury Claim with the at-fault party’s insurance can provide compensation for medical bills and lost wages during recovery.
However, insurance companies often try to deny or minimize claims. That’s why having a knowledgeable personal injury attorney on your side is crucial to securing proper compensation for your injuries.
