Anthony Pinelli seriously hurt in Oakland hit-and-run accident

OAKLAND, CA, (March 25, 2026) — A 59-year-old man was seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident on March 25 in Oakland.

Police said Anthony Pinelli had just completed a graffiti cleanup job when he was struck by a speeding vehicle on 23rd Street near Broadway. The driver fled immediately after the crash.

Pinelli sustained severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, fractured skull, and damage that nearly severed his spine. He remains in the intensive care unit.

A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to support Pinelli’s family with medical expenses during this difficult time.

Authorities later found the abandoned vehicle, which had been reported stolen. The investigation remains ongoing.

HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION

It can be difficult to track down a hit-and-run driver who chooses to flee the scene after a collision.

Along with police efforts, an experienced attorney can play a key role by hiring investigators to identify witnesses, review surveillance footage, and collect crucial evidence. Approximately 11 percent of all accidents involve hit-and-run drivers.

Many offenders leave the scene due to intoxication, lack of a valid license, or fear of arrest.

Candice Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney, noted that in cases like this, an independent investigation is essential to protect the rights of victims and their families.

“Having the necessary resources is vital to properly investigate a hit-and-run case and establish negligence,” said Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “Factors such as road conditions, visibility of signage, and lighting must be carefully evaluated. These steps are crucial in helping victims and their families obtain justice and rightful compensation.”


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Anthony Pinelli may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, explained that the aftermath of a serious injury can be overwhelming and affect every aspect of a victim’s life.

“While financial compensation cannot undo such devastating harm, it is important for victims to understand their legal rights,” Formica stated. “In cases like this, the injured individual may be eligible to seek damages for medical expenses, ongoing care, pain and suffering, and emotional distress resulting from the accident.”
