A 24‑year‑old man identified as Luciano Jaurergui Galvan was killed early Wednesday, April 29, 2026, in a multi‑vehicle collision in Carson, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office. The crash occurred on the Long Beach 710 Freeway at the Del Amo Boulevard exit, where emergency crews responded shortly after 1 a.m.
Four cars were involved in the crash, according to California Highway Patrol investigators: a white Kia SUV, a gray sedan, a dark-colored sedan, and a black sedan. One of the cars came to rest down an embankment after the collision occurred in the central lanes of the northbound roadway. The impact of the collision caused the airbags in a number of the vehicles to deploy.
CHP dispatch logs show officers were sent to the scene at approximately 1:01 a.m., where they found multiple damaged vehicles and significant debris. Traffic was immediately halted as responders worked to assess injuries and secure the area. The collision prompted a full closure of all northbound lanes at the Del Amo Boulevard exit.
Galvan, who was riding in one of the vehicles involved, was pronounced dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries. Officials confirmed that no other fatalities were reported, though the extent of injuries to other occupants was not detailed in early reports.
The crash caused major traffic disruption for several hours as CHP investigators documented the scene and crews cleared the wreckage. A SigAlert remained in effect while officers examined the positions of the vehicles, roadway markings, and debris patterns to determine how the chain‑reaction collision unfolded.
Authorities have not yet released information regarding potential contributing factors such as impairment or speed. The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the circumstances of the crash and has not announced any arrests or identified any at‑fault driver as of the latest updates.
