Bakersfield, CA – In a recent incident in Oildale, a minibike rider was involved in a collision that resulted in major injuries, prompting their transport to a nearby hospital, according to KGET.
The incident occurred on January 17, 2024, around 5:15 PM at the intersection of Woodrow Avenue and Grant Drive.
According to reports from the CHP Traffic Incident Page, the rider sustained significant injuries to the face and remained immobile on the roadway. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, and the victim was transported to a local hospital for medical attention.
The investigation into this incident is ongoing, and updates may be provided as law enforcement gathers more information.
Should another driver’s reckless behavior prove to be responsible for the motorcyclist’s injury, the victim will be able to file a claim with their at-fault driver’s insurance provider. A personal injury claim can help cover the expenses of hospital bills and income lost due to time taken off work for recovery. However, insurance companies will attempt to minimize any payout they cannot deny, which is why the help of a skilled personal injury attorney can be so valuable.
