1 dead, baby critical after 3-car crash in H.B.
Authorities have identified a Long Beach man killed Wednesday morning in a multi-vehicle crash that also left a 7-month-old baby in critical condition.
The driver of an orange Ford Bronco lost control of the vehicle along Bolsa Chica Street, crossed a center divider and into opposing lanes, said Lt. Gary Faust of the Huntington Beach Police Department.
Orange County Coroner’s Office officials say Abraham Perez, 30, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three others were taken to nearby hospitals. Two of those victims suffered minor injuries, but the baby was in critical condition.
Police were called to the crash at Bolsa Chica Street and Tasman Drive just after 7:31 a.m., Faust said.
The Bronco was headed north when the driver lost control and crossed into southbound lanes, Faust said, hitting a silver Honda. A third vehicle headed south on the left lane then crashed into the wreck.
The impact of the crash caused the Bronco to turn onto its roof.
