A Long Beach woman died Friday after being involved in a traffic collision that injured two other people.
Officers arrived to the scene at the intersection of Willow Street and Webster Avenue on the West Side regarding an injury traffic collision, according to a statement from the Long Beach Police Department.
Upon arrival, officers discovered a 2009 Mini Cooper on its side, a 2003 Acura TL with major front-end damage and a parked, unoccupied 1995 Honda Civic with major rear-end damage.
Two people in the Mini Cooper were transferred to the hospital for injuries, police said. The passenger in the Mini Cooper, identified as Long Beach resident Chanpisey Meas, was pronounced dead at the hospital, and the driver, a 62-year-old resident of Long Beach, was found to be in stable condition.
The driver of the Acura TL and sole occupant, a 22-year-old resident of Carson, sustained minor injuries.
A preliminary investigation found that the Acura TL was traveling eastbound on Willow Street. The Mini Cooper was traveling westbound on Willow Street and made a left turn onto southbound Webster Avenue, where it was hit by the Acura TL. The Mini Cooper turned on its side, slid into a light pole and hit the unoccupied Honda Civic.
The drivers of the Acura TL and Mini Cooper were interviewed and released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
