A 15-year-old boy was killed while waiting at a bus stop after a crash caused a vehicle to overturn onto the sidewalk in Long Beach on Wednesday afternoon, June 11, 2025.
According to the Long Beach Police Department, the incident occurred just before 3:00 p.m. at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue and Carson Street.
A 2010 Infiniti G37 traveling west on Carson failed to stop at a red light and collided with a 2010 Toyota Prius traveling south on Palo Verde through a green light.

Long Beach Fire Department personnel transported the boy to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. His identity has not been released due to his age.
The Prius driver, a 32-year-old man from Lakewood, remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. The Infiniti driver was hospitalized and reported to be in stable condition.
Police said speed was believed to be a factor in the crash. The investigation is ongoing.

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.
