A motorcyclist was killed in a crash in Long Beach, authorities said Friday.
The 58-year-old Huntington Beach man died at the scene of the collision, which occurred about 8 p.m. Thursday on Ocean Boulevard east of the Terminal Island (47) Freeway, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Authorities withheld his name, pending notification of his family.
According to police, the man was riding eastbound on Ocean Boulevard, possibly at a high rate of speed, when his 2002 Triumph America hit the rear of a 2008 Acura that was also eastbound.
“The collision threw the motorcyclist into one of the westbound lanes of traffic, where he appeared to be struck by two different westbound motorists,” police said. “Neither of the westbound motorists remained on scene. Their vehicles are described as a dark-colored possible SUV and a silver pickup truck.”
Police interviewed the Acura driver, a 33-year-old Long Beach woman whose name was withheld. She was not arrested or cited.
Anyone with information on the crash was urged to call police at (562) 570-7355, or Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS.
