RIP DAVID ANDREW SALTMAN (September 5, 1984 – June 9, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Sunday at 2:40 a.m.

The decedent was hit by three vehicles in the 2600 block of East Pacific Coast Highway, near Molino Avenue.

Long Beach PD said he was crossing PCH outside of a crosswalk.

The first vehicle to hit him did not stop. The second vehicle was a 2017 Kia Sportage, whose driver did pull over and called 911. While first responders were on their way, Saltman was struck again — by a white truck, which ended up dragging the body east on Molino. The truck’s driver did not stop either.

David Andrew Saltman had multiple arrests for public intoxication, use/possession of narcotic substances, and theft in various jurisdictions of the Southland.
