A 20-year-old Long Beach woman has died and four other people were critically injured following a two-car crash in Long Beach.
The Long Beach Police Department said that the collision occurred on Long Beach Boulevard at East Spring Street when a Honda Civic making a left turn was broadsided by a Ford Mustang speeding at more than 60 mph. Jaslyn Ouch was a passenger in the Honda Civic, which was driven by her boyfriend, Brandon Lee. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Lee and three other people had to be extracted from their vehicles by firefighters using the Jaws of Life. They were taken to area trauma centers with critical injuries.
Long Beach police said that alcohol or drug intoxication may have been a factor in the fatal crash; an investigation is underway.
