Oakland, CA (January 28, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision in West Oakland claimed the life of a 47-year-old man on Sunday morning. Authorities identified the victim on Monday as Maurice Senegal, a resident of San Francisco. The crash occurred at approximately 8:43 a.m. at the intersection of Linden Street and West Grand Avenue.
According to Oakland police, Senegal was driving a Volvo sedan northbound on Linden Street when he reportedly failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection. His vehicle collided with a Mitsubishi Montero SUV that was traveling eastbound on West Grand Avenue.
