Long Beach, CA (January 27, 2026) – A hit-and-run collision early Monday morning at the intersection of Atlantic Ave and E Wardlow Rd left one individual injured and prompted a swift response from Long Beach emergency personnel.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight, around 12:03 a.m., when authorities received reports of a pedestrian or motorist injured by a fleeing driver. Emergency crews arrived at the scene to assist the injured party, administering care before transporting the individual to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation.
At this time, the identity of the injured person has not been released, and the severity of their injuries remains undisclosed. The suspect vehicle reportedly fled the scene before law enforcement could arrive, and investigators are actively working to gather evidence and identify the driver responsible.
The intersection was partially blocked during the response, with officers canvassing the area for witnesses and surveillance footage that may aid in the ongoing investigation.
We extend our thoughts to the victim and hope for a complete and swift recovery.
