A tragic pedestrian collision in Long Beach on June 3, 2026, claimed the life of a woman crossing Pacific Coast Highway in the early morning hours. According to Long Beach police, the crash occurred at approximately 4:50 a.m. near the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Pacific Avenue. Authorities said the woman was using the crosswalk when the collision happened.
Investigators determined that the pedestrian had entered the crosswalk against a red light. A 19-year-old driver in a Chevy sedan was traveling through the intersection when the vehicle struck her. The impact left the woman with critical injuries.
Emergency responders arrived and attempted lifesaving measures at the scene. Despite those efforts, the woman was pronounced dead. The driver remained at the scene and has been cooperating fully with investigators.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released pending identification by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the fatal collision.
