SAN LEANDRO, CA — A 19-year-old was arrested after one person was killed and several were injured in a chain reaction collision Sunday morning on Interstate Highway 880 in San Leandro.
A BMW 535i sedan going northbound on the interstate struck a Honda Accord just after 11 a.m., ejecting a teenage girl who was a rear passenger in the BMW from the vehicle, according to California Highway Patrol officer Nicole Mendibil.
The victim was then struck by an oncoming box truck that crashed into the wreckage.
The girl was pronounced dead at the scene, after paramedics arrived, Mendibil said.
The adult driver of the BMW and a juvenile passenger fled the scene, while another was left in the vehicle with injuries. He was taken to a hospital, along with the driver of the Accord.
The 19-year-old driver of the BMW was later arrested at his residence, Mendibil said.
He is facing multiple allegations, including accusations that he was intoxicated when the crash occurred.
