Two people were killed in a crash between a car and a motorcycle Sunday evening in East Long Beach, according to the Long Beach Fire Department.

An elderly man was driving a car with an elderly woman passenger when they collided with a motorcyclist at the intersection of Wardlow Road and Woodruff Avenue at around 7:30 p.m., LBFD Capt. Jack Crabtree said.

Police said the car — a 2006 Toyota Highlander — was turning left from southbound Woodruff Avenue to eastbound Wardlow Road, and the motorcycle — a 2025 Yamaha YZF-R1 — was headed northbound on Woodruff Avenue when they collided.

Paramedics rushed to the scene where they determined the motorcyclist and the woman were dead, according to Crabtree. Authorities identified the motorcyclist as Austin Patrick Fett, a 28-year-old Lakewood man. The woman hasn’t yet been publicly identified as authorities work to notify her family.

The car’s driver was taken to the hospital in stable condition as a precaution, according to Crabtree.

Police said they do not think impaired driving was a factor in the crash. They asked anyone with more information to contact Detective Efrain Pineda at 562-570-7355.
