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.
