15-year-old boy sitting at bus stop killed in Long Beach crash
A 15-year-old boy sitting at a bus stop was killed after being struck by a car in Long Beach.
On June 11, Long Beach police responded to a crash at Palo Verde Avenue and Carson Street shortly before 3 p.m.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a driver in an Infiniti G37 sedan was traveling westbound on Carson Street when it ran a red light at the Palo Verde Avenue intersection.
The Infiniti struck a Toyota Prius that was traveling southbound on Palo Verde Avenue.
The impact caused the Infiniti sedan to overturn. The car skidded onto a sidewalk and struck the 15-year-old boy who was sitting at the bus stop.
The boy was rushed to the hospital where he died from his injuries. The Infiniti driver was taken to the hospital in stable condition and the Prius driver was uninjured.
'At this time, speed appears to be a factor in the collision,' police said.
The 15-year-old boy's identity was not released. The fatal crash remains under investigation.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call LBPD Detective Ashley Van Holland at 562-570-7355.

Grand Chute Police Department first to adopt drones into their new first responder program
GRAND CHUTE, Wis. (WFRV) – The Grand Chute Police Department has added a new fleet to their squad, becoming the state's first Drone as First Responder program (DFR). Early results of the program are positive and have become a key way for the officers to assess a call. Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis provides details on local immigration enforcement policies 'Not only can we respond quicker, we can provide that information back to the officers to aid in their response,' Captain David Maas said. 'But it also gives the officers more information to act upon when on a call.' Officers must get certification to use the drones. Once certified, officers may fly the drones from the station to see the progress of the call and how many officers will be needed. 'This helps with resource utilization and management. We can use the drone to identify what needs an officer to respond,' Captain Maas said. '[We can determine] how many officers might be required based upon what we see through the drone feed.' After having the drones out and responding to calls, many within the department are reportedly pleased with the early data, seeing fewer officers going out on calls they normally would have without the assistance from drones. Two Rivers K9 helps find suspect of high-speed pursuit that spanned 3 Wisconsin counties 'I was able to utilize the drone to go find that suspicious vehicle, I found that person,' Lieutenant Mike Lichtensteiger said. 'Turns out that person was doing nothing wrong; it prevented an officer's response, so officers didn't even respond to that call.' The department is hoping to add another drone, allowing them to use that one to assist on calls on the south side of the city. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
