Aviation Boulevard to Close Tuesday for Crash Investigation

Aviation Boulevard between Artesia and Manhattan Beach boulevards will be closed Tuesday from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m., according to a news release from the Redondo Beach Police Department.

RBPD officers will be completing time-sensitive follow-up investigative work related to last Wednesday's fatal traffic collision, which occurred in the 3300 block of Aviation Boulevard on the Redondo Beach side of the street, RBPD Sgt. Jeff Mendence wrote in the news release.

"Aviation (Boulevard) will be closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic," Mendence wrote. "Delays should be expected and motorists are asked to avoid this area during the road closure."

The two-car collision Wednesday resulted in the death of person only identified as a 62-year-old man. He was a passenger in one of the vehicles.

The two drivers involved in the crash were transported to local hospitals with mild to moderate injuries, Manhattan Beach Fire Department Battalion Chief Frank Chiella said at the time.

Witnesses and anyone with information are asked to contact RBPD traffic investigator Bill Turner at 310-379-2477 ext. 2721 or bill.turner@patch.com. Tips can also be submitted via telephone at 310-937-6685, via email at crimetips@redondo.org or via text message at 310-339-2362.
