A tragic accident occurred in Long Beach on Saturday when an electric scooter rider was fatally struck by a car.
The collision took place around 6:20 a.m. at the intersection of Ximeno Avenue and Shaw Street, as reported by the Long Beach Police Department. A woman driving a Ford C-Max was heading south on Ximeno when she collided with the electric scooter.
Emergency services quickly transported the rider to a nearby hospital, but the man later succumbed to his injuries. His identity has been withheld pending notification of his next of kin. The woman driving the Ford remained at the scene and cooperated fully with the investigators, according to police reports.
