LBPD spokesperson Allison Gallagher says officers responded to the crash scene at about 5:35 a.m.; the arriving officers located the victim lying on the street. LBFD personnel determined the pedestrian had succumbed to his injuries.
Investigation results:
The initial finding revealed that a 28-year-old driver operating a 2004 Nissan 350z traveled north on Long Beach Boulevard when he struck a male pedestrian standing in the street.
The injured pedestrian was knocked into Long Beach Boulevard's southbound lanes and then proceeded to be hit a second time by a 2018 Nissan Sentra.

Both drivers were positively identified with their valid driver's license and were released from the scene, pending further investigation.
The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office will identify the decedent and notify the next-of-kin.
