A man is facing DUI and hit and run charges two accidents on a half mile stretch of Rosedale Highway in Bakersfield.
CHP Officer Robert Rodriguez says the suspect crashed his truck into a sedan near Mohawk Street around 11:30 Monday morning before hitting four other cars as he went into opposing traffic on Fruitvale Avenue. Several empty beer cans were found in his car.
A Sheriff’s deputy and a Kern High School District officer caught the man when he tried to run away from the second accident.
