The impact of that collision sent the man&rsquo;s car into the northbound lanes of Central Avenue where it was struck by another vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Officers arrived and found the man nonresponsive and trapped inside his damaged vehicle, according to police. Officers managed to force the door open and removed the driver to begin CPR and other life-saving measures, but the man died.<\/p>\n<p>Officers continue to investigate the collision.
