A toddler was killed after a car struck three pedestrians, including the child, in Long Beach, police said Monday.<\/p>\n
The crash happened at 11:26 a.m. on Maine Avenue near West 5th Street.<\/p>\n
The three people were sitting in front of a home on Maine Avenue at the time of the crash, Lt. John Hotchkiss with the Long Beach Police Department said. <\/p>\n
Because of the urgent need to treat the toddler, two officers decided to take the child to a hospital in their patrol vehicle before the first responders arrived. While one officer drove, the other provided emergency medical care, according to Lt. Hotchkiss. <\/p>\n
Despite the efforts by the officers, the child was declared dead at the hospital<\/p>\n
Two other injured people were taken to a separate hospital to be treated for their injures. Their conditions were not immediately available. <\/p>\n
The driver stayed with the victims and is cooperating with the investigation, Lt. Hotchkiss said. <\/p>\n
