A tragic incident unfolded in Long Beach as a 15-year-old boy waiting at a bus stop lost his life after being hit by a car.
On June 11, a collision was reported to Long Beach police at the intersection of Palo Verde Avenue and Carson Street just before 3 p.m.
A preliminary investigation has uncovered that a driver in an Infiniti G37 sedan was heading west on Carson Street when they failed to stop for a red light at the intersection with Palo Verde Avenue.
An Infiniti collided with a Toyota Prius heading south on Palo Verde Avenue.
The collision resulted in the Infiniti sedan flipping over. A vehicle lost control and veered onto the sidewalk, colliding with a 15-year-old boy seated at the bus stop.
