Los Angeles, CA (June 10, 2024) – Fatal Multi-Vehicle Incident in Long Beach resulted in a pedestrian’s death early Sunday morning, according to local authorities.
The tragic events unfolded around 2:30 a.m. on the 2600 block of East Pacific Coast Highway near Molino Avenue, as reported by the Long Beach Police Department.
The initial vehicle involved fled after hitting the man who was crossing northbound outside of a designated crosswalk. He was initially struck while traversing the No. 2 lane of PCH, and the impact knocked him into the adjacent lane.
Following the first collision, the driver of a 2017 Kia Sportage stopped and dialed 911. As Kia’s driver awaited police arrival, a white truck struck the pedestrian a second time and dragged him further east along Molino Avenue before also fleeing the scene. The Kia’s driver remained at the site, assisting police with their inquiries.
The victim was declared deceased at the location of the accident.
