At least one person was hurt due to a two-vehicle traffic collision in Bakersfield on Tuesday night, June 30th.

According to the California Highway Patrol’s initial reports, the accident happened at around 10:28 p.m. A white pickup truck, and a Chevrolet Transverse collided into each other on Highway 99 near State Route 65.

Why the collision occurred and how it happened is currently unclear. One person sustained minor injuries due to the accident. Information about the accident is limited at the moment.

Head-On Collision Investigation is Underway

Local authorities are currently further investigating the accident.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California in 2017. Although head-on collisions only represent 2 percent of accidents, they account for 10 percent of fatalities on U.S. roadways. These accidents are caused by a variety of reasons, such as distracted driving, drunk driving, and driver over-fatigue.

When facing cases like this, it’s essential to have an experienced Bakersfield personal injury attorney conduct an independent probe. Attorneys have the resources that can help them prove the negligence of the guilty party. They will re-interview important witnesses, review relevant surveillance footage from the scene, and obtain the liable party’s phone and texting records.
