Overview

• A stolen Infiniti pursued by CHP briefly on May 28 veered off 12th Avenue near East 21st Street and struck two pedestrians on the sidewalk.
• A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene and a woman in her 40s was hospitalized in stable condition.
• CHP officers ended their chase before the crash, arrested the driver on foot and are investigating the stolen vehicle while OPD probes the fatal collision.
• Oakland’s Police Commission is considering reforms to OPD’s pursuit policy, which currently limits nonviolent chases and speeds above 50 mph without supervisor approval.
• Gov. Gavin Newsom has warned he may withdraw CHP resources from Oakland if the city does not adjust its pursuit rules that differ from state protocols.
