Pedestrian killed in crash in St. Mary's neighborhood, police say
The woman was crossing 10th Street at Alamitos Avenue in a crosswalk when she was hit, authorities said.
Police are investigating a crash in the St. Mary's neighborhood that killed a pedestrian Friday night.
Long Beach police say a woman was walking westbound in the north crosswalk of 10th Street around 8:21 p.m. Friday when a person driving a Toyota Tundra pickup truck made a left turn onto 10th from Alamitos Avenue and hit her.
Long Beach Fire Department personnel gave the woman medical aid and then took her to a local hospital, according to authorities.
On Sunday, LBPD officers were notified that the woman had died of her injuries, police said.
The woman's identity is being withheld while the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner works to notify her next of kin.
The driver of the Tundra remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police added.
At this time, crash investigators said they do not believe speed or impaired driving contributed to the crash.
Authorities are asking anyone who may have seen the crash to contact LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Dougherty at 562-570-7358.
This is the 34th traffic fatality reported by the LBPD in 2026. Last year, the department reported 56 traffic-related fatalities from 53 crashes, making it the deadliest year on the road since at least 1990, when the city reported 51 deaths, according to LBPD data from a public records request by the Watchdog.
The LBPD reported 37 traffic fatalities by this time last year.
