BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — The California Highway Patrol Bakersfield Area is seeking help finding and identifying the driver in a hit-and-run crash that killed 16-year-old Angel Berumen.

Currently, the CHP is looking for an unknown make or model of a red car. The new damage to the car is likely to be in an area which had been previously damaged and repaired.

They've received leads and tips from the community, but continue to seek help finding and identifying the driver and vehicle involved in the crash.

If anyone saw anything on Jan. 25th, 2022, between 5:45 a.m. and 6:38 a.m. on Niles Street and Brentwood Drive or east of Valencia Drive, they're asked to call the CHP at 661-396-6600.
