Police say a woman was killed by a car early this morning while crossing against a red light on Pacific Coast Highway in the Washington neighborhood.
The crash happened at about 4:50 a.m. at the intersection of PCH and Pacific Avenue, according to Long Beach police.
They said a 2019 Chevrolet sedan was heading westbound on PCH through a green light when it struck a woman who was crossing southbound in the east crosswalk of PCH, police said.
The woman was taken to a hospital where she died, police said. Her name and age were withheld pending family notification.
The Chevrolet driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
Police do not believe distracted driving, impaired driving or excessive speed were factors in the crash.
The death is the city’s 25th traffic-related fatality of the year and 21st fatal traffic collision. Last year, the city had 53 fatal traffic collisions — its highest tally in more than a decade.
