Injuries Reported in Bakersfield Motorcycle Accident on Highway 99 and Highway 46
BAKERSFIELD, CA (January 7, 2025) – Sunday afternoon, a person suffered injuries in a crippling motorcycle crash on Highway 99 and Highway 46.
The incident involving a motorcycle and a semi-truck happened at about 3:38 a.m. on northbound Highway 99, just south of Highway 46.
Authorities say a motorcycle came to rest about 50 feet down an embankment on the right-hand side of the road following a crash. Emergency responders arrived quickly and found the rider with serious injuries.
At 6:33 p.m., the California Highway Patrol (CHP) classified the incident as a “Major-Injury” crash. Crews spent several hours clearing debris from the roadway.
Preliminary reports indicate the semi-truck was traveling northbound on Highway 99 when the crash occurred. It is unclear whether the truck directly caused the crash or played an indirect role. The driver of the semi-truck pulled over near the intersection of Highway 99 and Highway 46 after the incident.
At least one lane of the highway was temporarily closed. The names and conditions of those involved have not been released, and the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation.
