Bakersfield police responded to Harris Road between Ashe Road and Gosford Road Monday around 4:40 p.m. for reports of a single vehicle crash. 

When officers got on scene they found that a gardening truck and trailer driven by Luis Choquehuanca-Jara left the roadway and struck a tree. 

An adult passenger in the truck was taken to a local hospital with moderate to major injuries. They are listed in critical condition, but is expected to survive.
