A 32-year-old Long Beach woman died after the car she was riding in smashed into a tree in the Bixby Knolls area early Thursday morning, according to authorities.

The crash happened around 1:25 a.m. when the 27-year-old man driving the car lost control as he was headed west on Carson Street at California Avenue, police said in a news release.

The 1994 Honda Accord hit a traffic signal at the intersection, a parking sign and ultimately smashed into a tree, police said.

After the crash, rescue crews from the Long Beach Fire Department had to pull the woman from the wreckage, according to authorities.

Paramedics took her and the driver to the hospital in stable condition, but she was later pronounced dead, police said.

Authorities did not identify the woman because they are still working to notify her family, police said.

They also did not identify the driver other than to say he’s also from Long Beach.

The driver is cooperating with investigators, who do not think drugs or alcohol had anything to do with the crash, police said.

It’s unclear at this point why the man lost control of the car.

Authorities asked that anyone with information about what happened call Long Beach Police Collision Investigation Detective David Whelan at (562) 570-7355.
