A van crashed into a wall near Recreation Park Golf Course Tuesday morning. Originally police thought no one was hurt, before finding a man police believe had been sleeping in the bushes had been killed.
Long Beach Police Department officers were called just after 1:50 a.m. to the area of Pacific Coast Highway and Santiago Avenue, near Recreation Park Golf Course, to investigate what was initially reported as a non-injury collision, according to an LBPD statement.
"Upon arrival, officers located a single vehicle that had collided into a stone wall," police said. "A tow truck responded to the scene and began removing the vehicle when officers discovered an unconscious male pedestrian underneath the vehicle." Long Beach Fire Department paramedics were called to assist and pronounced the man dead at the scene. His name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.A preliminary investigation into the collision revealed a white Dodge van was traveling westbound on Pacific Coast Highway when it struck the north curb, entered onto a flower bed, rolled over several large bushes and sideswiped a nearby wall, according to the LBPD.
