Authorities Wednesday identified a passenger who was killed in a high-speed solo-vehicle crash in Long Beach.
The crash occurred about 3:35 a.m. Sunday on Ocean Boulevard near the Long Beach (710) Freeway, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
John Lakkas, 42, of Oyster Bay, New York, died Monday at a hospital, according to the coroner’s office.
According to police, Lakkas was riding in a 2019 Infiniti Q50S driven by a 35-year-old man, who was also taken to a hospital with injuries of unspecified severity.
“The preliminary investigation revealed the Infiniti Q50S was traveling … at a high rate of speed when the driver of the vehicle lost control and struck a tree,” according to a police statement. “The impact of the collision caused the vehicle to split in half, and the passenger was ejected from the vehicle.”
Why was that man released. He is the reason John is gone!! This is sickening!
Rest in Peace my friend. Save some monkey shoulder for me my brother.
Unless you know the whole situation, shut up. Let the family grieve and keep your stupid comments to yourself.
