One Killed and Three Injured in Long Beach Collision

Long Beach, CA – A wrong-way collision occurred on Thursday June 8, 2023, at the intersection of Pacific Coast Highway and Junipero Avenue. The Long Beach Police Department responded to the multi-vehicle collision at around 7:19 p.m. The male driver of the SUV was traveling westbound on PCH at Junipero Avenue before he went into the eastbound lanes of traffic and hit three other vehicles.

The driver, who was the only person in the SUV, was pronounced dead at the scene. Three men from the other vehicles were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. It is unclear what caused the SUV’s driver to veer into the wrong lanes or if drugs or alcohol were involved. The Long Beach Police Department is investigating the cause of the accident.
