Traffic Accidents in Foggy Conditions on Coffee Rd in Bakersfield

 

Foggy Conditions on Road.

Foggy conditions in Bakersfield can lead to dangerous accidents on local roads. Despite the low visibility, drivers are still responsible for proceeding safely. They must travel at speeds that are safe for the conditions. That can mean slowing way down if fog has obscured the road.

Drivers can be held responsible for crashes involving fog if they don’t take the proper precautions from behind the wheel. Motorists are often hurt or even killed when other drivers don’t adjust to bad weather conditions to give themselves time to avoid striking another vehicle and endangering lives.

Driver Changing Tire Struck and Killed in Bakersfield

The driver of a gardening truck was struck and killed while outside of his vehicle in a tragic accident Monday morning in western Bakersfield. KGET-TV reports the collision occurred along Coffee Road north of Brimhall Road on December 26, 2022.

The Bakersfield Police Department responded to the scene at around 7 a.m. They discovered that a man in a gardening truck had pulled over to change a flat tire. The driver of an SUV came along and struck the truck.

The driver who was changing the tire was killed and a passenger in the truck suffered moderate injuries and was rushed to the hospital.

The driver of the SUV remained on the scene to cooperate with the collision investigation. Bakersfield police don’t believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident. They do say speed and foggy conditions may have contributed.

Seeking Assistance for Victims and Families After a Bakersfield Car Accident

For families of loved ones tragically taken in an accident, a wrongful death claim filed against an at-fault driver’s insurance company may be required. Close relatives will face the costs of a memorial service and burial and ambulance fees and could quickly find themselves in a financial hole.

A wrongful death claim is filed by a spouse, or children of the victim, or by a Bakersfield Car Accident Lawyer on behalf of the entire family. This lawsuit seeks to earn financial support for the years to come as the family copes with the loss of the guidance and weekly income a loved one can no longer provide.

Surviving victims of car accidents must often deal with painful and expensive recoveries. A claim for damages must be filed against an insurance company. This claim seeks help with all hospital and doctor expenses. The claim also demands reimbursement for the income and benefits the victim has lost while missing work.
