The Long Beach Police Department was notified this week of the death of a male adult involved in a traffic collision on July 4, 2017.
On July 4, 2017 at approx. 9:00 p.m., officers responded to a single-vehicle traffic collision at Santa Fe Avenue and 29th Street.
When officers arrived, they observed a 2006 Chevy HHR had collided into a tree on the raised center median. The vehicle was occupied by an unconscious male adult. Long Beach Fire personnel responded and rendered aid to the driver, and transported him to a local hospital in critical condition.
