OAKLAND — A San Leandro man died Thursday night in what police said was an apparent alcohol-related solo vehicle crash in East Oakland.
The man was identified by the coroner’s bureau Friday as Markus Colding, 41.
The fatal crash happened about 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the 10800 block of San Leandro Street.
Police found Colding inside a vehicle that had crashed into a concrete center divider. Officers extricated him from the vehicle and attempted life saving measures before he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced deceased.
Police said a witness told officers the vehicle had been swerving and driving westbound in the eastbound lanes of San Leandro Street before it collided with the divider.
Police said an open container of alcohol was located in the vehicle and that it appears alcohol may have been a factor in the crash.
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call police traffic investigators at 510-777-8570.
