On Sunday at 6:21 pm, Long Beach Fire responded to reports of a single vehicle traffic accident on Studebaker Rd. just south of Loynes Dr. Upon the arrival of fire units it was determined that the vehicle had gone off the road and entered the water.

That person was transported to a local area hospital and was later determined deceased. As divers continued their search, an additional person was found. That man was trapped inside the vehicle.

The Heavy Wrecker successfully removed the vehicle from the water where the second man was evaluated and determined deceased on scene by LBFD paramedics.
