Bakersfield Police are investigating; they said the woman, who is in her 30's, suffered moderate injuries after being struck by the car in the southbound lanes. She was taken to a local hospital.

The woman was crossing Union Ave. south of 21st Street not in a crosswalk, according to preliminary investigations.
