On October 20, 2019 at approximately 3:35 a.m., officers responded to a report of an injury traffic collision on Ocean Boulevard at the 710 freeway involving a single vehicle, which resulted in the death of a male adult.

When officers arrived on scene, they observed several citizens who stopped to assist. As officers started their investigation, those citizens left the area prior to being interviewed.
Responding officers located a 2019 Infiniti Q50S, being driven by a 35-year-old male resident of New York. Long Beach Fire Department paramedics arrived and rendered aid to both the driver and passenger before transporting both subjects to a local hospital, where they were being treated for their injuries.
