At least 14 people were injured Friday in yet another collision on International Blvd. in Oakland, this time involving two drivers and a bus. "At 4:55 p.m. Friday, March 8, an AC Transit Bus Operator reported a head-on collision with a passenger vehicle at 54th Avenue and International Boulevard," explained Robert Lyles, a spokesperson for AC Transit. Apparently, the crash involved a Blue Chrysler 300 "heading Southbound on International Boulevard at a still undetermined speed. Simultaneously, [the driver of] a Toyota Prius, also in the Southbound lanes of International, apparently attempted to make a left turn onto 54th Avenue."

Correction, 3/27 - the headline of an earlier version of this story indicated that "Oakland" ripped out the bike lane. Streetsblog spoke directly with the man pictured in the lead image who identified himself and his crew as independent contractors working for "the city." Streetsblog has since learned that the crew was actually working for the Port of Oakland, which apparently has jurisdiction over this section of street. While Port operations are separate from the city bureaucracy, the Port's Commissioners are appointed by the mayor and the Oakland City Councilmembers (for four-year terms).
