CHP: Man dies after car hits back of semi-trailer at high speed on Hwy. 99<\/a><\/p>\nCHP officers were called at about 1:58 a.m. on Sunday, May 10, 2026, on northbound Highway 99 at Hosking Avenue for a report of a crash involving two vehicles.<\/p>\n
CHP said Estrella was driving a 2015 black Honda Civic northbound in the No. 3 lane at a high rate of speed. A 34-year-old man from Delano was driving a 2019 Peterbilt semi-truck directly in front of the Honda in the same lane at about 55 mph, according to CHP.<\/p>\n
CHP said the Honda overtook the semi-truck and collided with the rear of the Peterbilt\u2019s semi-trailer. The impact caused the Honda to travel in a northeasterly direction before coming to rest on the right shoulder of northbound Highway 99 underneath the Hosking Avenue overpass, CHP said.<\/p>\n
The semi-truck driver pulled onto the right shoulder north of Hosking Avenue and waited for CHP and emergency personnel to arrive, according to CHP.<\/p>\n
CHP said Estrella sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency personnel. The semi-truck driver was taken to Kern Medical with minor injuries and cooperated with the investigation, CHP said.<\/p>\n
