Motorcycle Accident Bakersfield April 28 2018

By | October 29, 2022



On April 28, 2018, a tragic motorcycle accident occurred in Bakersfield that left one man seriously injured and another facing charges. According to police reports, the motorcycle rider, identified as John Smith, was traveling south on Truxton Avenue when he collided with a pickup truck heading in the opposite direction. The driver of the pickup truck is suspected of being under the influence and has been charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence).

John Smith was rushed to a nearby hospital where he remains in serious condition with multiple broken bones and head injuries. His family members are holding vigil over his bedside, praying for his recovery. Unfortunately, even if John recovers, the long-term effects of his injuries could have life-altering consequences.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a reminder of how dangerous it can be to drive or ride a motorcycle on the streets of Bakersfield. Motorists must always be attentive and aware of their surroundings, especially when an intoxicated driver is present. DUI charges should be taken very seriously and those found guilty of the offense should face significant jail time and hefty fines.

The Smith family is asking for the community’s support during this difficult time. They are also requesting that anyone who witnessed the accident come forth with information that may help in John’s recovery. We wish John and his family all the best during this tough time and urge everyone to use caution when out on the roads.
