Long Beach, CA (June 4, 2024) – A tragic collision occurred at the intersection of Carson Street and Ostrom Avenue on the border of Long Beach and Lakewood. David Garcia, a 41-year-old from Downey, succumbed to fatal injuries.
Accident Details: According to the Long Beach Police Department and the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner, Garcia was traveling west on Carson Street behind another vehicle when he changed lanes. At this moment, the driver of a Ford Edge was turning left onto Carson Street. The motorcycle collided with the Ford Edge, resulting in critical injuries for Garcia, who unfortunately did not survive.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that several aspects of this case warrant further examination to determine how the collision occurred and whether there was any negligence. Investigators will consider the vehicles’ condition, road signage, and the behavior of Garcia and the Ford driver. Depending on the findings of the investigation, a wrongful death claim from Garcia’s family may be possible if negligence is discovered.
My sincerest condolences are with the family and friends of David Garcia during this heartbreaking and difficult time. I hope the investigation provides answers and his loved ones receive the support they need.
