BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — A man accused of hitting and killing a 17-year-old girl on Union Avenue last month with a vehicle was arraigned on Wednesday and faces a pending trial date in October.

Jeff Ferguson, 67, was arraigned on Wednesday and re-entered a not guilty plea to hit-and-run causing death or injury, driving on a suspended or revoked license for DUI, and driving while addicted to drugs. He also pleaded not guilty last month. Ferguson faces a pending trial on Oct. 19.

The crash happened on July 18 at about 10:45 p.m., when Bakersfield police were called to the 3600 block of Union Avenue for a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.

When officers arrived, they found 17-year-old Love Icelyn Dixon down in the road with severe injuries, police said. She was taken to the hospital, where she later died.

Police said their investigation determined Dixon had gotten out of a vehicle that had stopped in the No. 1 lane of northbound Union Avenue when she was struck by another vehicle traveling north in the No. 2 lane. Police said the driver did not stop and drove away immediately after the crash.

Bakerfield police said Flock safety cameras assisted officers in the arrest of Ferguson on August 5, calling them “invaluable.”

Ferguson is scheduled to appear on Oct. 9 for a readiness hearing.
