Motorcycle Collision results in the Death of One Male

LONG BEACH, CA – On April 24, 2022 at approximately 7:15 p.m., officers responded to the area of Studebaker Road and Loynes Drive regarding an injury traffic collision involving a motorcycle, which resulted in the death of a male adult.

Upon arrival, officers located the driver of a motorcycle surrounded by several good Samaritans who rendered aid until the Long Beach Fire Department arrived. Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and determined the driver deceased.

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 1993 Harley Davidson motorcycle, driven by an adult male, was traveling at a high rate of speed northbound on Studebaker Road approaching Loynes Drive—when he lost control of the motorcycle.
