Upon arrival officers determined that two vehicles had collided with a female pedestrian who had sustained major body trauma. Long Beach Fire Deparment responded and transported the victim to a local area hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The preliminary investigation revealed that the unidentified female pedestrian, approx. 40-50 years old, was traveling on a skateboard southbound across Pacific Coast Highway (P.C.H.) at Lime Avenue. The pedestrian was outside of the unmarked crosswalk when a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder, driven by a 55-year-old male resident of Long Beach, collided with the pedestrian in the #2 eastbound lane of P.C.H., east of Lime Avenue. The force of the impact caused the pedestrian to land in the #1 eastbound lane of P.C.H. where she was run over by a 2005 Toyota Sienna, driven by a 62-year-old female resident of Long Beach. Both vehicles remained at the scene and the drivers cooperated in the investigation. They were later released from the scene, pending further investigation.
