Interstate 5 Automobile Collision in Kern County

August 18, 2014- A Kern County multi-vehicle collision was caused by a DUI driver, on Monday.  The car accident took place south of Bakersfield, on Interstate 5.

David Gomez, was driving while intoxicated, according to the California Highway Patrol, on I-5 South.  As he approached Grapevine Road, he swerved to the left over all the lanes of the freeway.

That action caused a three vehicle pileup.  Gomez's car and an SUV overturned, and both came to rest on their roofs.

After the crash Gomez attempted to flee the scene on foot.  He was later found, and arrested at a Bakersfield hospital, after sustaining moderate injuries in the accident.

Four other people involved in the collision all suffered minor to moderate injuries.

Semi Truck Overturns near Grapevine Road Exit on I-5

November 29, 2011- A big rig accident on Interstate 5, south of Bakersfield, closed a highway exit while crews removed the wreckage Tuesday.

The semi truck with double trailers was driving northbound on I-5. The front trailer was hauling 20 55 gallon drums of an unknown substance. While traveling on the highway at the Grapevine Road exit, the semi overturned after the brakes caught on fire. Some of the drums leaked all over the road after the crash.

The hazmat team was called in to clean up the mess. The substance was identified as nontoxic enough to turn the clean up over to Kern County crews.
