A man on a bicycle was killed Saturday afternoon when he was struck by a vehicle in front of the Metro A Line station in west Long Beach.
The crash occurred about 3:20 p.m. Saturday on Pacific Avenue at Wardlow Road, according to Long Beach Police Department spokesman Richard Mejia.
“Upon arrival, officers located a bicyclist … in the road with life-threatening injuries,” Mejia said. “Long Beach Fire Department personnel arrived on scene and transported the bicyclist to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.”
The woman driving the vehicle remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, Mejia said.
