(Bakersfield, CA) A devastating head-on collision on westbound Highway 119 during the early hours of Wednesday morning has resulted in the loss of one life, as reported by the CHP Traffic Incident Information Page.
The collision occurred between two vehicles, a white pickup truck, and another vehicle, at the intersection of Highway 119 and Tupman Road, just moments before 5:30 a.m. The impact was so severe that one of the vehicles involved caught fire, leading the authorities to promptly close down traffic lanes for safety and rescue operations.
