CHP Investigate a Fatal Two-Vehicle Crash on South Union Avenue in Bakersfield

Bakersfield, CA (November 19, 2021) – Friday morning, a driver died and two others sustained severe injuries in a two-vehicle crash on South Union Avenue.

The fatal crash in Bakersfield happened at around 8:50 a.m. on November 19 near Jose Ramos Court.

CHP said that a GMC Envoy SUV at about 8:50 a.m. was traveling south on South Union Avenue faster than 60 MPH approached Jose Ramos Court in limited visibility due to fog.

As the big rig semi-trailer crossed both southbound lanes, the GMC was unable to stop in time and crashed into the left side of the trailer.

As a result, the GMC driver died at the scene. EMS transported a female passenger in the GMC as well as a young girl passenger suffering from major injuries to Kern Medical.

Alcohol or drugs do not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Further investigation into this fatal crash is ongoing.
