November 7, 2009--In light of the recent spate of fatal highway accidents on Blood Alley in Kern County, aka Highway 46, the Bakersfield Californian printed a review of fatalities on that road and elsewhere in the county for the past few years.
Since 2004 on Highway 46 alone there have been 453 crashes with deaths occurring in 20 of the collisions. That put Highway 46 in a tie with Highway 223 for the highest ratio of accidents. Eight of the twenty fatal accidents occurred in a single year--2004. Thirteen people died that year. In October of this year there were 2 horrible accidents claiming 7 lives. The stats on other Kern County highways are as follows:
Highway 119: 636 crashes, 16 fatal crashes
Highway 223: 271 crashes, 12 fatal crashes
Highway 178: 456 crashes, 11 fatal crashes
Highway 184: 870 crashes, 9 fatal crashes
Highway 43: 335 crashes, 8 fatal crashes
Highway 65: 298 crashes, 5 fatal crashes
