Man, 2 Women Killed in Bakersfield Car Crash On Highway 178 Near Yankee Canyon Drive Monday afternoon
Bakersfield, California (May 13, 2020) – A two-vehicle crash claimed the lives of three people Monday afternoon in Bakersfield, authorities said.
At about 2:53 p.m. Monday, May 11, officers responded to Highway 178, just east of Yankee Canyon Drive, for a report of a traffic accident.
Authorities said a 1998 Ford Escort was heading westbound on Highway 178. At the same time, a 2002 Toyota Tacoma was traveling eastbound on Highway 178.
The Ford entered a left-hand curve on the highway and lost control due to unsafe speed. The Ford then veered across into the eastbound lane and collided head-on with the Toyota.
The woman driving the Ford and a female passenger in the Toyota both died at the scene while the male driver of the Toyota was airlifted to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The names of the victims have not been disclosed pending notification of family.
The accident remains under investigation.
Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.
Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”
Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
