Double Big Rig Crash on Southbound Highway 99, in Bakersfield

On Monday, August 17, 2015, a double semi truck accident occurred in Bakersfield.  The big rig crash took place on southbound Highway 99, at Highway 65.

A tractor-trailer carrying steel pipes was traveling south on the freeway, when it crashed into the back of a tanker truck that was hauling milk.

The incident caused the closure of the two right lanes of Highway 99, until emergency crews could clean up the wreckage.

The driver of the big rig hauling pipes, sustained moderate injuries.  He was taken by ambulance to Kern Medical Center, in Bakersfield.

Issues still remaining to be investigated include determining the speed of the semi truck, whether road conditions may have contributed to this accident, and whether there was a malfunction in the vehicle.
