Bakersfield has regularly been ranked among California’s cities with elevated pedestrian crash rates, especially on older urban corridors. In established neighborhoods, streets frequently lack modern safety features such as raised crosswalks or dedicated pedestrian signals, heightening the risk of pedestrians being hit. These incidents occur more frequently during evening hours, when visibility decreases but pedestrian activity remains high. When an unconscious pedestrian is discovered at a crash site, emergency teams adhere to established protocols to stabilize the patient prior to transport. A tourniquet can be used for visible bleeding from a limb that needs urgent control.
