LONG BEACH – A woman was killed in a traffic collision early Monday morning.
Long Beach Police Department Collision Investigation Detail detectives are investigating a traffic collision that occurred Feb. 24 which resulted in the death of a female adult.
At approximately 6:45 a.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Long Beach Boulevard and Willow Street regarding an injury traffic collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.
Upon arrival, officers discovered an unconscious female adult pedestrian in the roadway. Bystanders and officers rendered medical aid until Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported the pedestrian to a local hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
The preliminary investigation indicates the pedestrian was walking in a marked crosswalk when a 2005 GMC made a right turn from westbound Willow Street to northbound Long Beach Boulevard and struck the pedestrian.
The driver of the vehicle, a 61-year-old resident of Long Beach, remained on the scene and cooperated with the investigation.
At this time, impaired driving does not appear to be a factor in the collision.
The identity of the pedestrian is being withheld, pending notification of next of kin by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
