A 70-year-old motorcyclist who was critically injured in a collision last month in Long Beach died several days later at a hospital, police announced.
Officers responded around 8:50 p.m. March 24 to Studebaker Road and Atherton Street regarding a crash involving a 2022 Yamaha motorcycle and a 2011 Hyundai, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Police said investigators determined the motorcycle was traveling southbound on Studebaker Road when it collided with the Hyundai, which was making a left turn west onto Atherton Street.
Since the collision, the motorcyclist remained hospitalized due to the injuries he sustained,” police said in a statement.
The motorcyclist, identified as Leonard Tanguay, was hospitalized with critical injuries and died March 31 while receiving treatment. Police said detectives were notified of his death Monday.
Speed, impaired driving and distracted driving do not appear to be contributing factors, police said.
