BPD confirms the motorcyclist who was in critical condition following a wreck on Saturday, died on Sunday at the hospital as a result of his injuries.

A Bakersfield man identified as 28-year-old Scott Grego has died after suffering from massive brain injuries after crashing into an SUV Saturday afternoon.

Family members tell 23 ABC, Grego grew up in the Tehachapi area and was known for being kind and generous.

Grego also had a love for motorcycles.
