Long Beach, CA - 20-Year-Old Motorcyclist Severely Injured in Hit-and-Run, Second Driver Sought

Long Beach, California (September 22, 2026) - A 20-year-old motorcyclist was left with severe injuries after being struck by two cars, and one of the drivers did not stop.

Family members say he recently turned 20. They say he was heading home from work on the night of September 22. They say a driver hit him at the intersection of Downey Avenue and Andy Street.

Long Beach police say a second driver struck him while he was still on the ground and did not stop. A search for that driver is underway.

The motorcyclist underwent brain surgery and has bruises across his body. His brother has publicly urged the driver who fled to come forward.

This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.

A hit-and-run does not end the search for compensation. Several people and insurance policies may be involved.

• Who may be liable: The first driver and the driver who fled may each bear responsibility, depending on what investigators find.
• Uninsured motorist coverage: Even if the driver who fled is never identified, a claim may be available under the injured person's own uninsured motorist coverage.
• Evidence that disappears: Video from nearby businesses, doorbell cameras, and 911 records can be lost within days. Witnesses may help identify the second vehicle.
• Shared fault: California follows pure comparative fault. Any fault assigned to the motorcyclist reduces compensation but does not bar it.
• Filing deadline: This crash occurred on September 22, 2026. Personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years of the crash (CCP 335.1). That puts the deadline at September 22, 2028.

Steps that protect a claim right now:

• Keep every medical record, bill, and photo of the injuries.
• Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
• Do not accept a settlement offer before speaking with an attorney.
