BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (Oct. 15, 2025) \u2014 Zacarias Ecahua Chipahua, 26, of Lamont, was killed in a hit-and-run crash earlier this month at the intersection of South H Street and Houghton Road in Bakersfield.<\/p>\n
The Kern County Coroner\u2019s Office identified the victim who died following the 5:18 a.m. crash on Thursday, October 2, 2025. <\/p>\n
Investigators say a 2011 Chevrolet Impala, driven by a 33-year-old man, was heading west on Houghton Road and came to a complete stop at the intersection. As the driver began turning south onto South H Street, a white 2008 Chevrolet Silverado traveling eastbound reportedly failed to stop at the posted stop sign and slammed into the passenger side of the Impala.<\/p>\n
Chipahua, who was seated in the front passenger seat, died at the scene. Two other occupants of the Impala were injured: the driver sustained minor injuries, and a 45-year-old passenger suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Kern Medical.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Silverado pickup truck reportedly fled the scene on foot and has not been located. Authorities have not determined whether drugs or alcohol played a role in the crash.<\/p>\n
The California Highway Patrol is urging anyone with information to contact its Bakersfield office at (661) 396-6600.<\/p>\n
