According to the Long Beach Police Department, officers responded around 6:23 a.m. to Haynes Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway, where they found the pedestrian, who was administered life-saving aid by officers until paramedics arrived. Despite efforts to save him, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The identity of the victim has not been released pending notification of his relatives.
A preliminary investigation determined that the pedestrian was crossing Pacific Coast Highway when he was struck by an eastbound 2023 Ford F-150 driven by a 40-year-old man from Wilmington. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Detectives are still unclear whether speed, distraction, or impairment played a role in the collision.
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.
