A DHS spokesperson said the man being pursued refused to pull his vehicle over and tried to "flee" law enforcement. The man "turned on the street where the school was located while driving at an extremely high rate of speed," the spokesperson said. "... He collided with another vehicle and fled on foot.""
"Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife addressed the situation in a video from the scene of the crash. She showed two vehicles damaged by the chase, and, prefacing it with "allegedly," described one vehicle striking another that had been parked on the street with a pregnant woman inside. "A parent was dropping their child off at school in West Oakland this morning," Fife said. "They were chased by masked men in an SUV that caused this collision.""
