A tractor trailer collided with a young driver Tuesday night pinning the victim in the wreckage on Interstate 5 near Bakersfield.
The tragic collision occurred at about 7:35 p.m. on the highway’s northbound lanes just north of the Twisselman Road exit, according to CHP dispatch logs.
The yet-to-be identified victim was driving a white Jetta, when it collided with a Tractor Trailer that initial reports indicate was hauling a step ramp – the low platforms can be used to load cars and other cargo. The impact sent debris exploding the interstate.
Efforts to free the young driver from the Jetta were to no avail, as 911 callers reported the victim was pinned in the vehicle and choking on blood.
The victims name has yet to be released by the coroner’s office. Check back with CCAR for updates about this tragedy and the latest information about deadly car crashes.
