Drivers on rural roads across Kern County may not meet a lot of traffic as they travel. Yet, drivers must always be wary of any motorist they approach in the opposite lanes. With not much more than yellow lines separating traffic, cars can pass very close to each other.
Anytime drivers have allowed themselves to become careless or reckless, their vehicles can easily end up in the path of oncoming traffic. A head-on collision is one devastating result that leaves drivers and passengers at risk of losing their lives.
Bakersfield Man Killed in Kern County Head-On Collision
A man was killed in a frontal collision between two cars in Kern County south of Arvin Monday morning. KGET-TV reports the accident occurred around 6:39 a.m. along David Road west of Edison Road on October 3, 2022.
The California Highway Patrol determined that a 66-year-old man from Arvin was driving a Buick Rendezvous SUV westbound on David Road when he swerved into oncoming traffic for an unknown reason. The Buick struck a Toyota Matrix head-on.
The 38-year-old man driving the Toyota tragically died at the scene. He was from Bakersfield. There weren’t any other injuries reported. California Highway Patrol investigators continue to examine the circumstances surrounding the accident.
Support for Families After a Kern County Collision
Families who are left to grieve the loss of a loved one in a car crash can also end up vulnerable to financial harm in the weeks and months to come. Close relatives can receive enormous bills for a funeral and also be charged for emergency response.
A wrongful death claim filed against an at-fault driver’s auto insurance company asks for support for these expenses and more. This civil claim also seeks help for the family in the future when close relatives will have to continue life without the emotional and financial support the deceased had always provided.
