A man died from injuries suffered when he was struck by a car while riding an electric scooter in Long Beach.
The man died in a hospital Saturday and Long Beach police detectives were notified Wednesday, according to a Long Beach Police Department press release.
The crash occurred about 9:40 a.m. on April 29 in the 6500 block of Atlantic Avenue, police said.
The investigation revealed a 2019 Honda Accord driven by a 19-year-old Long Beach resident failed to stop for a red light while northbound on Atlantic toward Artesia Boulevard. The car collided with the man riding the scooter in a marked crosswalk, police said.
The Long Beach man on the scooter was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and died five days later. His name has not been publicly released.
