A 17-year-old girl was killed and her mother was injured in Oakland by a suspected hit-and-run driver who was intoxicated, according to investigators.
The teenager, Mardenia Carrillo Lopez, was in a crosswalk with her mother when they were hit by a car near 72nd Avenue and International Boulevard at about 6:30 p.m. Monday.Mardenia died at the scene. Her mother suffered injuries to her hand and shoulder. But the driver didn't stop. Instead, he ended up crashing into a tree in the center median blocks away. The Impala ended up near 84th and International.
Hugo said the tragedy is a sobering reminder of the consequences of drinking and driving.The deadly crash has also renewed concerns that busy International Boulevard has been reduced to one lane of traffic, which some say has led to drivers using the bus-only lane and causing crashes."It is very sad.
