A traffic collision just off-campus Wednesday
sent a man and a woman to the hospital with minor injuries.
Shortly before 9 a.m., a red Porsche, driven
by a woman heading north on Palo Verde Avenue, was struck by a man in a
white pickup traveling southbound, said Lt. Philip King of the Long Beach
Police Department.
Police did not release the names of the
victims.
"The Porsche was struck in the right-side
passenger door" as the driver made a left turn onto Atherton Street, King
said.
"Both vehicles were towed from the scene,"
King said, adding that injuries appeared to be minor, but the man sustained
a cut to the head.
"The occupants from both vehicles were
sent to [Long Beach] Community Medical Center for observation," said Capt.
Bruce Balbirnie of the Long Beach Fire Department. "The man needed some
stitches." |
