BAKERSFIELD, CA (June 23, 2019) – Two people died following a multiple-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon on southbound 5 Freeway in Bakersfield.
 
The car accident on 5 Freeway happened a little before 5:00 p.m., just south of Kings County and the Kern County line.
 
According to the CHP, at least four vehicles were involved. A Lincoln Town car was going northbound on 5 Freeway, when for unknown reasons, it went into the center median and spun out into southbound lanes.
 
The Lincoln then collided with a big rig, then hit another, before crashing head-on with a Ford Mustang.
 
The police pronounced the two occupants in the Lincoln dead at the scene. Their identities were not immediately available.
 
Two people in the Ford sedan were transported to a hospital with moderate to major injuries. No one from the two big rigs revived injuries.
