Long Beach, CA (June 9, 2024) – Authorities stated a driver hit a man on the Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach early Sunday morning, fleeing the scene and leaving him to be struck and killed by two other vehicles.
Preliminary information indicates that officers with the Long Beach Police Department responded to reports of the crash at about 2:25 a.m. The investigation revealed that an unknown vehicle was driving eastbound on PCH when it hit the man near the intersection with Molino Avenue. The driver fled the scene before police arrived.
While lying in the first lane, the man was struck again by the driver of a 2017 Kia Sportage. That driver pulled over and called 911 to report the collision.
