A 21-year-old woman from Compton was killed in a multi-vehicle crash involving a Metro train near 12th Street and Long Beach Boulevard in Long Beach on Friday night, May 23, 2025.
According to the Long Beach Police Department, the incident occurred at approximately 11:53 p.m. near the city’s downtown area. Authorities said the woman was driving a southbound Infiniti sedan at high speed without headlights.
As she approached a side street, a 29-year-old Long Beach man driving a Honda Civic attempted to turn onto Long Beach Boulevard. Upon seeing the speeding Infiniti, he swerved to avoid a collision and struck a guardrail.
The female driver also swerved to avoid the Honda but lost control of her vehicle and crashed into a nearby Metro train. The impact pushed the Infiniti through a chain-link fence and into a vacant lot across from the Metro tracks.
Fire crews extricated the woman from the wrecked vehicle and transported her to a hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries. Her identity has not yet been released.
The male driver of the Honda was not seriously injured and is cooperating with the investigation. Authorities are looking into speed and impaired driving as potential contributing factors.
Don’t Know What To Do After An Accident?
Your safety and rights depend on what you do next after an accident. Remember the following steps if you find yourself in one:
- Check yourself for any injuries.
- Stay on the scene, call 9-1-1, and wait for emergency responders.
- Move your vehicle to the road shoulder if safe; turn on hazard lights.
- Fully cooperate with law enforcement and stay until cleared to leave.
- Document the scene and injuries with photos and videos.
- Seek immediate medical attention.
- Contact your insurance company and find a personal injury lawyer for legal advice.
What A Lawyer Can Do For You
Many victims put off calling a lawyer even if they sustain injuries after an accident. However, lawyers can help you in many ways. They can provide you with police reports, CCTV footage, and witness statements to strengthen your case. Your attorney will also negotiate with insurance companies to get you fair compensation. The best part is that they will do all of these things for you at no upfront cost. So if you’re injured in an accident, hire a personal injury attorney to recover medical bills, car repair costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
