LONG BEACH, CA (October 17, 2023) - Late Saturday afternoon, a motorcycle collision on Willow Street claimed the life of one unidentified man.

The incident unfolded at approximately 5:35 p.m., at the intersection of Willow Street and Palo Verde Avenue. According to reports, the driver of a 2019 Nissan Sentra, traveling eastbound, failed to yield to traffic and made a northward turn onto Palo Verde Avenue.
