A two-vehicle crash in Long Beach early Friday left a woman dead and five other people injured.
The crash occurred about 12:15 a.m. at Pacific Coast Highway and Atlantic Avenue, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Maria Concepcion Martinez, 53, of Long Beach died at the scene, according to police, who said she was a passenger in one of the vehicles and had been trapped in the wreckage.
Both motorists were injured, as were three other passengers in one of the vehicles, police said.
“The preliminary investigation revealed a 2017 Mazda 6 driven by 24-year-old female resident of Los Angeles was traveling westbound on Pacific Coast Highway approaching Atlantic Avenue and a 2007 Toyota Scion driven by a 63-year-old male resident of Long Beach was traveling northbound on Atlantic Avenue,” an LBPD statement said.
“The Mazda then broadsided the Toyota Scion in the middle of the intersection,” police said. “The driver who had the right of way is still under investigation.”
