OAKLAND, Calif. - Disturbing video obtained by KTVU on Thursday shows a car plowing into two Oakland Unified School District employees and injuring them as they cross a street.
The collision happened Wednesday at High Street between San Leandro and Wattling streets at approximately 6:30 a.m.
The two school district employees were crossing the street to work at a district facilities department, according to District 5 City Councilman Noel Gallo.
A car strikes them and sends them both into the air and back onto the pavement.
