HIGHWAY 58 DEATH ON PURPOSE?

A man is dead after jumping out of a moving car on Highway 58 northwest of Bakersfield.

Sheriff’s spokesman Ray Pruitt says the man had been arguing with his wife minutes before taking the fatal tumble Monday morning near Superior Road, and they are investigating it as a probable suicide. The couple’s children were in the car at the time.

Traffic lanes were reopened an hour later.
