Fatal crash at Catalina Ave./Palos Verdes Boulevard
A single-car fatal collision occurred Nov. 20 at the intersection of Palos Verdes Boulevard and South Catalina Avenue in Redondo Beach.
The vehicle, with two occupants inside, hit a light/signal pole at approximately 11:17 p.m., killing the adult male driver.
The car caught fire, which responding RBFD personnel extinguished. An adult female passenger escaped with minor injuries and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. She and the driver were in a 2014 black Infiniti G Series going east on Palos Boulevard. No other cars were involved, according to Detective Bijan Pirsaheli.
“Drugs and alcohol are believed to be a factor,” he said.
