The California Highway Patrol said on Friday, October 17, 2025, at around 9:56 a.m., officers were called to northbound Highway 99, south of Golden State Avenue, for reports of a solo-vehicle crash.<\/p>\n

CHP said a preliminary investigation found that Bravo was driving a gray 2012 Toyota Camry northbound on Highway 99, just south of Golden State Avenue, at an unknown rate of speed.<\/p>\n

According to CHP, for reasons still under investigation, the Toyota veered toward a northeasterly direction and left the east roadway edge of Highway 99.<\/p>\n

CHP said as a result, the Toyota struck a metal guardrail that was on the east shoulder. After striking the guardrail, the Toyota continued out of control in a northwesterly direction, ultimately hitting the center divider wall, where it came to rest.<\/p>\n

Bravo sustained severe injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

According to CHP, it is unknown whether alcohol and\/or drugs were factors in this crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
