A man was struck and killed by a suspected DUI driver in Long Beach Saturday afternoon. 

According to Long Beach Police Department, the man was attempting to push his car out of the road at around 5:20 p.m., near the 300 block of Market Street, when he was struck by a vehicle being driven by a driver suspected to be driving under the influence of either drugs or alcohol.

The 62-year-old man was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead. 

Police arrested the driver, identified as 33-year-old David Grace, on suspicion of DUI, and closed Market Street between Elm Avenue and Linden Avenue as they investigated the incident. 

The crash is said to have occurred as the 62-year-old man and his daughter were attempting to push their 1991 Dodge van out of the street. Grace, allegedly driving at a high rate of speed, struck the van with his 2013 Lexus, injuring the man and pinning his daughter between the two cars.

The daughter was uninjured in the incident.
