A two-car collision on Tuesday morning resulted in damage to both cars, but no injuries to either driver — one, a Cal State Long Beach student, who was cited for failure to yield.
The collision occurred at around 9:20 a.m. at the intersection of Atherton Street and Carfax Avenue.
According to the Long Beach Police Department, a blue Lexus RX330, driven by a CSULB junior pre-nursing major, flipped on its side when it collided with a silver Toyota Highlander, driven by an adult woman who was leaving campus after dropping her son off. The Highlander’s airbags were deployed.
The LBPD said the student was driving southbound on Carfax Avenue when he moved into oncoming traffic on Atherton Street. He was struck by the Highlander, which was headed eastbound.
The accident created traffic delays near the Walter Pyramid.
The student said he was on his way to theater class when the collision happened, but he said he would still try to make it to class.
“My parents are going to be pissed,” the student said after the accident.
Both cars were towed.
