==========================================

A man in a wheelchair died after being hit by a light colored pickup truck or SUV. Police say the victim was in the crosswalk when the accident happened and the driver of that vehicle kept going.

Despite being the scene for a number of dangerous accidents, Bakersfield resident Joy Leon says this is the norm in this area.

"I just think they don’t care, they just walk while it says don’t walk. They don’t have any fear,” said Joy Leon.

If you have any information about this crime you are urged to call Bakersfield Police.
