Oakland, CA (September 17, 2020) – On Thursday, two Oakland police officers extricated a driver from an Xfinity van crash on Hegenberger Road.

The rescuers took the driver to a hospital. His current condition is not yet available.

Scan the road 1/2 mile to a full mile ahead in order to look out or recognize potential hazards in time. Our bodies weren’t designed to travel at 50mph. We were designed for speeds of less than 10mph, thus you need to learn to consciously break that natural instinct and focus farther ahead.
