Authorities say a man was riding a motorcycle eastbound on Wilson Road when a white Hyundai sedan, turning left from the westbound lanes, entered his path.

Authorities continue to investigate the incident and urge anyone with relevant information to contact the Bakersfield Police Department.
Wrongful Death Claims
Losing a loved one in a traffic accident is devastating, and the pain can be made worse by the financial strain that often follows. Medical bills, funeral costs, and the loss of income to support dependents of the deceased can leave families struggling. Filing a Wrongful Death claim against those responsible can provide compensation to help with these expenses.
