Busy roads around Bakersfield can expose even safe drivers to the reckless nature of other motorists. Drivers can be going well over the speed limit when they lose control and slide into the lanes next to them. A careless driver may also be looking anywhere but the road and ram another vehicle from behind.
When traffic is heavy any impact can quickly affect many other drivers and passengers. These multi-car pileups send injured victims to local emergency rooms each week.
Bakersfield Multi-Vehicle Accident Sends Woman to the Hospital
At least one person was hospitalized after a chain-reaction accident in Bakersfield Tuesday night. FOX58-TV reports the accident occurred along the 200 Block of Wible Road near where Highway 58 and Highway 99 meet. It happened on February 14, 2023.
Bakersfield police responded to the scene sometime around 7 p.m. They determined that an SUV and two cars had collided. Officials said that an unconscious woman driving a Ford Expedition was rushed to Kern Medical. Her injuries were thought to be moderate to major. Information about any other potential victims was not released.
Wible Road was closed down for a while as emergency crews worked to help victims and clear the scene. Bakersfield police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Support for Victims After a Bakersfield Car Accident
Victims in collisions around Bakersfield often face enormous healthcare costs when working to recover from serious injuries. They may also be losing out on valuable time at work and getting behind on normal monthly bills during recovery.
These hardships should be left entirely in the lap of the at-fault driver’s car insurance provider. By filing a claim for damages, victims or their family members request help with all current bills and any bills for healthcare expected in the future. The paychecks victims lose while being unable to work would be reimbursed. Their struggles with pain and emotional trauma during their recoveries should also earn substantial compensation.
