Head on traffic collision claims one life
Last night, around 10:55 pm, San Leandro Police officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of San Leandro Blvd regarding an auto collision with injuries.
Officers arrived on scene and located two vehicles involved in the crash and both drivers suffering from extensive injuries. Fire and Paramedics arrived on scene and began extracting both drivers and providing medical attention. The drivers were transported to local hospitals for further treatment.
