A man died in a two-vehicle traffic crash Sunday in Pomona that injured a 3-year-old and left another man hospitalized in critical condition, police said.
The collision happened around 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Valley Boulevard and Dupont Street, according to Pomona police.
All involved occupants were taken to a hospital, including a 49-year-old male driver as well as a 28-year-old male driver and his three-year-old passenger, said Aly Mejia, spokeswoman for the Pomona Police Department.
Shortly after being hospitalized, the 49-year-old man died from his injuries, Mejia said. His name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The other driver was hospitalized in critical condition while the 3-year-old passenger was released to a guardian with minor injuries Sunday, Mejia said.
Speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, Mejia said.
A stretch of roadway on Valley Boulevard from Dupont Street to Ridgeway Street in Pomona was temporarily closed due to the crash, police reported.
Anyone with information on the crash was asked to call Pomona police at 909-802-7741 or 909-620-2048. Tipsters can also call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.
