An eyewitness said that the driver of a grey BMW 52I hit a man in his 30s walking his German shepherd and dragged him for at least a block, and then looped back, rammed another car, jumped the sidewalk and hit a man on a bicycle, which was left mangled at the scene.

Then, another woman who was jogging was hit so hard that she flipped over the BMW and cracked her head on the sidewalk, the eyewitness said. The BMW now has a large crack in the windshield from the impact of striking the woman.

KTVU obtained some graphic Ring video of the BMW driving on the sidewalk, striking the man with the dog, which then takes off barking. The BMW driver then is seen driving fast on the sidewalk back toward the UC Berkeley campus.
