Woman Fatally Struck in Bakersfield Pedestrian Accident on Highway 99 near Planz Road

 
BAKERSFIELD, CA (August 9, 2022) — A woman died after a pedestrian accident on Highway 99 on Sunday, August 7.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the accident took place on Highway 99 near the Planz Road over-crossing.
 
CHP officers said they received reports of a pedestrian standing in a lane on Highway 99, south of Highway 58 shortly before 4:00 a.m. As units rushed to the scene, they learned a vehicle struck the pedestrian.
 
An initial investigation determined that for unknown reasons, the pedestrian walked in a lane on Highway 99 under the Planz Road over-crossing into the path of a Honda. The Honda subsequently veered to the left to prevent hitting the pedestrian. However, the right side of the vehicle still hit the pedestrian.
 
Emergency responders then rushed the pedestrian to Kern Medical where they declared her dead.
 
CHP said that alcohol and/or drugs may have contributed as a factor in the crash.
