Long Beach, California – The images of a red pickup truck involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident in Long Beach downtown on Monday evening have been released by the police.

Authorities are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying and locating the driver of the truck, which seems to be a two-door model from the late 1990s to early 2000s.
