BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — Bakersfield police are asking for help identifying two vehicles that drove away from a hit-and-run crash that left a man hurt on Kentucky Street back in June.
The Bakersfield Police Department is asking for the community’s help in identifying two vehicles allegedly involved in a hit-and-run crash that left one person hurt.
Bakersfield police said on Saturday, June 27th, 2026, at around 8:52 p.m., a man was riding a scooter eastbound on Kentucky Street at Haley Street when he was struck from behind by one of the suspect vehicles.
Immediately after, the suspect vehicle continued eastbound on Kentucky Street, driving away from the scene, according to police.
A few seconds later, another vehicle traveling westbound on Kentucky Street collided with the electric scooter, which was resting on the roadway. The second suspect vehicle also drove away from the scene of the crash, according to police.
The victim was taken to Kern Medical with injuries to his head and legs. He was treated and subsequently released.
Both incidents were captured by surveillance footage; however, due to the quality of the video and the distance between the video camera and the area of impact, investigators could not confirm a license plate or make and model.
The first suspect vehicle appears to be a light blue or light gray SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Suburban or an older model Tahoe.
