Motorcyclist dead in Oakland hit-and-run
OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) - One motorcyclist was left dead after a hit-and-run crash in Oakland early Sunday morning.
The motorcyclist has been identified as 40-year-old Steven Lee from Rodeo.
CHP is investigating the crash, that happened just after 2 a.m., near the 27th Street on-ramp.
Investigators say a dark van driving in the eastbound lanes may have made an unsafe lane change and ran into the back of the motorcycle.
CHP Sgt. Donovan Geyer says, "That van failed to stop at the scene, continued on eastbound. We don't have a description of it other than just a dark van. And at this time we're still trying to follow up on witnesses and see if we can get any more information related to that".
The motorcyclist died at the scene.
The CHP is asking anyone with information about the crash to call them.
