A 16-year-old girl was killed in a two-vehicle crash in Long Beach in which speed and distracted driving might have been contributing factors, authorities said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Saturn and a 2021 Jeep Wrangler were both going southbound on Long Beach Boulevard, south of Wardlow, when the Saturn made a lane change and struck the Wrangler, police said.<\/p>\n
The teenager was rushed to a hospital in critical condition, and the driver of the Wrangler \u2014 who was uninjured \u2014 remained at the scene and cooperated with police.<\/p>\n
