Man Killed After Being Hit by Multiple Vehicles in Long Beach

A pedestrian was struck and killed Tuesday night in Long Beach, prompting an ongoing investigation by the Collision Investigation Detail.

According to the Long Beach Police, officers responded to reports of a traffic collision at approximately 11:17 p.m. on February 18, 2025, at the intersection of Anaheim Street and Roycroft Avenue. Upon arrival, they found a male adult pedestrian lying in the westbound lanes of Anaheim Street. Long Beach Fire personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Preliminary findings indicate that a 2021 Volkswagen ID was traveling westbound on Anaheim Street when the driver saw the pedestrian suddenly jump from the sidewalk into the roadway. Unable to stop in time, the driver struck the pedestrian. Authorities believe the pedestrian remained in the roadway and may have been hit by two additional vehicles.

All three drivers remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. Police have ruled out speed, reckless driving, or impairment as contributing factors in the incident.

The identity of the deceased has not been released, pending notification of next of kin by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Authorities urge anyone who may have witnessed the collision to contact LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Efrain Pineda at (562) 570-7355.
