In a news release, Long Beach Police Department investigators said the crash happened at around 12:30 p.m. on June 21, when a metallic blue Dodge Charger sideswiped a 2026 Honda Prologue driving west on Seventh Street near Magnolia Avenue. 

"The collision caused the Honda to collide with several unoccupied parked vehicles and overturn," the release said. "The Dodge Charger fled from the scene."

The man driving the Honda and a female passenger were both hospitalized with moderate injuries after the crash, police said. 

As their search continues, LBPD detectives have decided to share photos of the suspect and car involved, which they described as a metallic blue Dodge Charger with five-spoke wheels.
