The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office identified the 19-year-old as Jeremy Hernandez. Long Beach police say Hernandez was driving a 2005 Chevrolet sedan around 10:40 p.m. along northbound Shoreline Drive near Ocean Boulevard when he lost control of the vehicle. The vehicle left the roadway, crashed into a tree and overturned, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Hernandez died at the scene, while two others inside the vehicle were taken to local hospitals with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. There were no updates to their condition as of Wednesday afternoon. Investigators believe Hernandez may have been speeding before the deadly crash, according to police.
