A teen suspected of fleeing in a black pickup truck after hitting and killing a pedestrian in San Leandro last Thursday turned himself in to police this afternoon, police said.

The 18-year-old Hayward man, who is believed to be the driver of a black Toyota pickup truck that fled from the collision scene, surrendered at about 3 p.m. today, according to police. Investigators will meet with Alameda County prosecutors Friday morning to recommend he be charged with vehicular manslaughter, police said.

The suspect in the collision is in jail without bail. He had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for a probation violation, police said.
