OAKLAND — A man suffered fatal injuries Wednesday night in East Oakland when he was pinned between a car and a mini-van that were hit by a stolen SUV driven by someone who fled the scene on foot, police said.
He was identified by the coroner’s office Thursday as Luciano Carmona-Garcia, 42, of Hayward.
The deadly chain of events happened about 10:26 p.m. Wednesday in the 4200 block of International Boulevard.
Police said the driver of a stolen Kia Sorento SUV was speeding in the eastbound lanes when it first collided with a Pontiac Vibe hatchback. The Pontiac driver was able to drive to a hospital on their own for treatment of minor injuries.
