Bakersfield, CA – Authorities have identified Robert Boris Barraza, of Bakersfield, as the motorcyclist who lost his life after being struck by a vehicle on Saturday, December 6, 2025, according to KBAK.

The California Highway Patrol reports that the accident took place around 3:45 AM at the intersection of Coffee Road and Peanut Avenue in Northwest Bakersfield.

Within an hour of the crash, Barraza was declared deceased at the scene. No further details have been released regarding the sequence of events that led to this fatal accident.

Wrongful Death Claims & Comparative Negligence

Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Negligence rule, several parties can share partial responsibility.  

Should someone else be found even partly responsible for the death, the family may be able to file a Wrongful Death claim against the at-fault driver’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, and the loss of income to support the family of the deceased.
