Shaohui Wu, 35, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and accessory in the May 11 collision that killed 50-year-old Andrea Sanchez. Police say after crash, Shaohui Wu drove up in his own vehicle and provided a ride home for Chuliao Wu, 32, who exited his own car and ran from the wreck site.<\/p>\n

The two men allegedly drove past the crash on the way home, where three responding police cars and a firetruck were investigating and attempting to save Sanchez\u2019s life. They allegedly continued on their journey, failing to contact authorities. Chuliao Wu has been charged with gross vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene, and remains jailed in lieu of $125,000 bail, court records show.<\/p>\n

In court records, police described Shaohui Wu as a \u201cfriend\u201d of Chuliao Wu but it\u2019s unclear if the two are actually related. Shaohui Wu posted $55,000 bail and was freed from jail. Alameda County prosecutors also charged him with possessing a small bag of cocaine in his pants pocket when he was arrested in mid-June, court records show.<\/p>\n

Chuliao Wu is accused of speeding when he crashed into Sanchez\u2019s car around 5 p.m. May 11, at the intersection of Corvallis Street and Dartmouth Avenue in San Leandro. Court records allege Wu was driving a Mercedes Benz that video recovered at the scene showed was going in excess of 60 mph, more than double the street speed limit, and passing other cars before colliding with Sanchez\u2019s Kia.<\/p>\n

Sanchez died at a hospital the same day as the crash, according to court records. Chuliao Wu was arrested on May 27 and admitted to being the driver, according to police. Shaohui Wu also confessed to helping Chulia escape, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Police say that before Chuliao Wu ran from the scene, he walked up to the Kia, got a good look at Sanchez\u2019s condition, then fled on foot.<\/p>\n

Sanchez worked in the cafeteria at Corvallis Elementary School in the 14000 block of Corvalis Street in San Leandro. She was known at school as \u201cChef Andrea,\u201d or \u201cDre.\u201d A memorial notice on the San Lorenzo Unified School District\u2019s website describes her as a \u201cdevoted wife, mother, sister, friend, coworker, and \u2018Auntie\u2019 to so many.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDre was truly one of a kind, bringing joy, warmth, and positivity to every room she entered. She had a remarkable way of making people feel loved, seen, and uplifted,\u201d the post says.<\/p>\n
