Dangerous Early Morning Accidents on California Ave In Bakersfield CA

Early morning travel on Bakersfield streets can be hazardous. Traffic is lighter, but there may be more inattentive drivers on the road and more reckless decisions made. It only takes one driver losing focus on traffic lights or veering out of a lane to put every other motorist who may be out and about in jeopardy.

A safe driver may not even realize a vehicle is heading straight for them until it’s too late. A devastating collision can cause major injuries and threaten lives.

One Person Killed and Another Hospitalized After Car and Truck Collide in Bakersfield

One person was tragically killed after a car and a truck crashed near downtown Bakersfield Friday morning. KGET-TV reports the accident occurred just before 5 a.m. along California Avenue, near Union Avenue on June 3, 2022.

The Bakersfield Police say the accident involved a collision between a sedan and a pickup truck. The white sedan involved had heavy front-end damage. The driver of the pickup truck was transported to a local hospital but was later pronounced dead there. The driver of the sedan also went to the hospital. That driver had moderate injuries and was expected to recover.

Bakersfield’s Major Collision Investigations Team has not released their finding on how the crash occurred.

Seeking Help for Victims and Families in Bakersfield

Victims of frightening accidents must often deal with long and painful recoveries. And families who have lost a loved one will, of course, never completely get over the pain and grief of such a heartbreaking tragedy.

For families of lost loved ones, a wrongful death claim filed against an at-fault driver’s insurance company may become necessary. This civil claim can be used to obtain financial help for close relatives as they face funeral costs and ambulance fees. The family may also earn support for future losses as they face the years ahead without the income a loved one had always provided.

For surviving victims, a claim for damages can prove the best option when trying to get every cost of recovery reimbursed. A basic insurance settlement may only cover the first few days in a hospital. The settlement could ignore the potential medical expenses that lie down the road including weeks of physical therapy, injury flareups, and future surgeries.
