On April 28, 2016, at approximately 4:36 PM officers from the Long Beach Police Department responded to a report of a vehicle versus vehicle traffic collision at Spring Street and El Dorado Park Drive.

Upon Officers arrival they immediately began CPR on a non-responsive female who was involved in the collision. Long Beach Fire personnel arrived shortly after and continued life saving measures until they made a determination that the female was deceased.

The male driver momentarily look down away from the roadway and when he looked back up he saw that a Toyota Scion was stopped in front of him. The male had no time to react and collided with the rear of the Scion.

The deceased female was a 31-year-old resident of Downey. Her name is being withheld until such time that the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office notifies the female’s next of kin.
