Hit-and-run driver slams into Wise Sons deli in Oakland, police say

OAKLAND, Calif. - Authorities are searching for a hit-and-run driver who plowed into a deli in Oakland. 

The crash happened at the Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen on Sunday afternoon when a driver in an Acura SUV lost control while racing another vehicle, authorities said.
