Where the Oakland Police Investigation Stands

Police also asked that any video or photos that could help the investigation be shared with the unit. No charges have been announced.
Which agency investigates often depends on where the crash happened. Highway crashes are often handled by state police or highway patrol, and crashes on city streets by local officers.
