Two pedestrians were killed in separate crashes in Long Beach late Wednesday night, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first crash was reported at around 9:30 p.m. on Pacific Coast Highway and Maine Avenue, Long Beach police said in a news release<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officers arrived and found the victim, identified as 39-year-old Hacienda Heights resident Ramon Maldonado, lying in the roadway. Despite attempted lifesaving measures, he was declared dead at the scene, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators say that a white 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer driving east on PCH struck Maldonado as he was crossing the street outside of a marked crosswalk. The driver remained at the scene to cooperate with the LBPD investigation, police said, noting that speed, distracted driving and impairment did not appear to be factors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nearly an hour after the first crash, at approximately 10:50 p.m., officers were called to Seventh Street and Dawson Street for reports of another collision.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Personnel from the Long Beach Fire Department transported the pedestrian to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries,” the news release<\/a> said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The preliminary investigation revealed that a 2007 Toyota Tundra driving east on Seventh Street struck a pedestrian who had walked into the road from between two parked cars, according to LBPD’s news release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver remained at the scene to cooperate with the investigation, police said. They said that speed appears to have been a factor in the crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anyone who witnessed either crash was asked to contact LBPD detectives. Detective Joseph Johnson, who is leading the investigation in the Seventh Street collision, can be contacted at (562) 570-7355 and Detective Ashely Van Holland, who is leading the PCH fatality, can be contacted at the same number.<\/p>\n
