Toll of Two Vehicle Crashes Shocks San Leandro Country
Thirid Sellars, 19, son of a San Leandro real estate family, died in a freeway crash on Interstate 380 Castro Valley while towing a second car with a steel cable. A San Pablo man, Carl Hakritson, 62, was killed in a separate crash on the Ninvitz expressway overcrossing when his van struck a truck after its lights failed. Patricia Rainns, 10, of San Leandro, steering the towed car, narrowly escaped injury. The patrol stressed towing without a proper tow bar is hazardous and law enforcement cited electrical failure and stalled vehicles in the Hakritson crash.
