After colliding with a van this morning at 6:55AM at Carson Street and Conquista Avenue, an unidentified motorcyclist died at the scene.

The collision—which caused all westbound lanes of Carson to be shut down at Palo Verde Avenue—occurred while the motorcyclist was traveling westward on Carson while the Toyota van was traveling southbound on Conquista Avenue.

“It appears the van was attempting to make a left turn to head eastbound on Carson,” said Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman Nancy Pratt.

The van driver was not cited for the collision and the incident remains under investigation.
