LONG BEACH, CA (January 19, 2018) – Jaslyn Ouch was killed in a two-vehicle collision around 10:33 PM on Friday evening, in a commercial district on Long Beach Boulevard.
A 2000 silver Ford Mustang was speeding over 60 mph, going south on Long Beach Blvd, when it struck a 2015 Honda Civic that was turning left onto Spring Street.
The passenger of the Civic, 20-year-old Jaslyn Ouch, was pronounced dead at the scene. Ouch’s boyfriend and driver of the Honda was Branden Lee. He was taken to a trauma center with critical injuries. According to Jake Heflin of the Long Beach Fire Department, the Mustang jad three men inside.
