Long Beach, CA. — A 19-year-old woman died days after being struck by a car in a Long Beach parking lot earlier this month, authorities announced Tuesday.
The crash happened just before 4 p.m. on November 2 near a parking lot in the 2200 block of Bellflower Boulevard near Stearns Street, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Police said Grace Edwards, of Long Beach, was walking in the area when she was struck by a 2015 Lexus IS250 driven by a 39-year-old Long Beach resident.
