BAKERSFIELD, CA (October 31, 2024) – Authorities are investigating a fatal accident involving a skateboarder struck on the Westside Parkway in Bakersfield on Halloween night.
The California Highway Patrol reported that the incident occurred around 6:40 p.m. just east of Allen Road, with the victim’s body discovered in the middle of the road.
Three westbound lanes were subsequently closed, and traffic was rerouted to Calloway Drive as officers secured the area. CHP confirmed that the pedestrian was a skateboarder, but their identity will be released later by the Kern County Coroner’s Office.
