One person is dead and several others injured after a two-car accident that occurred on July 1, according to the Long Beach Police Department (LBPD).
At 4:35am that day, officers responded to Anaheim Street and Long Beach Boulevard on a report of a traffic collision.
Upon arrival, they found that two vehicles had collided in the intersection. One vehicle, a Silver 2011 Nissan Sentra, was stopped in the intersection, and the other, a 1999 Lexus RX300, was stopped on its right side on the northeast corner of the intersection.
A 26-year-old female resident of Los Angeles was driving the 1999 Lexus. There were three passengers in the vehicle at the time. All of them were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
While at the hospital, the rear passenger of the vehicle, a 21-year-old male resident of Los Angeles, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
The driver of the Nissan was a 36-year-old male resident of Long Beach. There was also a passenger in the vehicle, and both driver and passenger were transported to a local hospital for injuries they suffered as a result of the collision. At press time, both were in stable condition.
This collision is still under investigation, but it is believed that the Nissan was traveling eastbound on Anaheim Street and the Lexus was traveling northbound on Long Beach Boulevard. What is unknown is the phasing of the traffic-control signal at the time of the collision.
