Police sought the public\u2019s assistance Monday in identifying a driver involved in the hit-and-run death of a pedestrian in Long Beach.<\/p>\n
The man was struck around 7:25 p.m. Sept. 13 while walking eastbound across Pacific Avenue \u2014 outside of a marked crosswalk \u2014 just north of Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Long Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police said they are searching for the driver of a black sedan with tinted windows and chrome trim that was being driven north on Pacific when it struck the man. The driver failed to stop, turning left onto 19th Street, police said.<\/p>\n
Authorities said earlier this month that the man, identified by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner as 65-year-old Juvenal Banderas, was struck by a total of three vehicles \u2014 first a white SUV, then the sedan, then a 2021 Jaguar. The Jaguar driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said.<\/p>\n
It was unclear if investigators still believe Banderas was initially struck by an SUV prior to the sedan.<\/p>\n
He died at a hospital after sustaining blunt traumatic injuries.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding the fatal collision was urged to contact LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Johnson at 562-570-7132.
