Pedestrian sent flying in Oakland hit and run

Oakland police are looking for a driver who hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk and kept driving.

Surveillance video shows a pickup truck driver striking a woman in an Oakland crosswalk and fleeing after the victim went airborne. 

The apparent hit-and-run happened at 54th and Adeline streets in North Oakland on Thursday. 

"There's no way he could not have heard it happen," said Ciana Leehang, the 22-year-old pedestrian. "You hear me getting hit."

Leehang declined to receive medical treatment.

Police said they are looking for the driver of the Chevy Silverado 1500 with an extended cab.
