Motorist Dies in Fiery Redondo Beach Crash

REDONDO BEACH, CA (January 14, 2019) – A man died Saturday morning after his vehicle crashed into a utility pole and then engulfed into flames in Redondo Beach.

According to the Redondo Beach police, the incident occurred at around 7:05 a.m. Saturday. It was reported that a vehicle struck a utility pole and burst into flames in the 1600 block of Aviation Boulevard.
