<\/a>Lori Ann Carreon was killed in a hit-and-run collision Saturday evening at the intersection of Redondo Avenue and East 2nd Street in Long Beach.<\/p>\n\nCarreon was an occupational therapist and a beloved member of the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nAccording to the Long Beach police, Carreon was riding southbound on Redondo Avenue, attempting to enter the intersection with East 2nd Street just before 5 p.m. Meanwhile, a 2025 gray Hyundai Sonata traveling westbound on East 2nd Street drove through the intersection without stopping for a stop sign and crashed into Carreon at a high rate of speed. Tragically, she died from her injuries at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n
\nThe Hyundai driver fled the scene.<\/p>\n
\nAuthorities continue to search for the suspect. Anyone with information is urged to contact 562-570-7110.<\/p>\n
\nThe crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED<\/p>\n
\nA motorist involved in a hit-and-run crash is required to remain at the scene and notify law enforcement officials. Failure to do so would attract criminal charges and other legal consequences. According to NHTSA, 2,872 people died in hit-and-run crashes in 2023, down from 2,972 the year before.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBicyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, and many factors can contribute to serious crashes,\u201d said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIt is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHit-and-run drivers are subject to criminal charges following an accident or collision that injures another bicyclist or pedestrian. Separate from criminal charges, victims of hit-and-run injury accidents may be entitled to a civil lawsuit,\u201d said Bond, an experienced hit-and-run accident attorney.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,\u201d Bond added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM<\/p>\n
\nPending the results of any investigations, the family members of Lori Ann Carreon may be entitled to a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a catastrophic accident.<\/p>\n
\nStefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal, said, \u201cGrieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAn attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during this difficult time, and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.\u201d<\/p>\n
