Looking for witnesses who saw a Roll-Over accident on Stine Road near of Stine & Ming in Bakersfield, CA
Looking for witnesses who saw a Roll-Over accident on Stine Road near the intersection of Stine & Ming on 2/28/08 @ 4 PM.
I was involved in a Roll-Over accident on Stine Road, around 4PM on February 28, 2008. My son and me were crossing from the Walgreens parking lot across Stine Road into the parking lot of the 99 Cent store & Taco Bell parking lot when a Toyota Camry hit the passenger side rear wheel and undercarriage (frame) just before the rear tire. The impact caused our Beige Chevrolet S-10 4X4 SUV to roll over one time onto the roof.
My left arm was out the window and my hand was trapped under the roof. Somehow I got my seat belt off while I asked my son if he was okay the someone pulled him out and gave him a black plastic Rosary. I believe he worked at the Recycling Center in the parking lot. I have not been able to contact this man.
I slammed my head into the roof of the car when I got the seat belt off. I crawled out the window & somehow managed to free my hand, it was cut up from all the glass. I also had a very large contusion & brusing on my left elbow. My son came over by me. I asked him how did I get you loose? He told me about the man & the Rosary. I asked if he was injured and he said my right shoulder & knee hurts. He asked me the same and I think I told him I'll be alright, don't worry about me.
I remember screaming repeatedly & crying from pain "How fast were they going?". I think I fell down.
I think I was stumbling. I was very disorientated and in severe pain. I think I tried to get up to approach the other driver but I honestly don't remember much about the many people who helped us.
I remember seeing Taco Bell employees standing outside and looking on, as well as many others in the parking lot. There is a little Recycling Center 15-20 feet away at the right side of the parking lot entrance. Their employees and customers were also looking, maybe some of them were the people helping us. There were other people standing on the sidewalk on the Northbound side of Stine Road as well.
Someone or possibly several people told me to lay down and & it seemed like seconds that the paramedics were there. I don't remember the details of what I told the officer.
I need help from anyone that was a witness. I had to hire an Accident/Collision Investigator.They
believe that the Toyota was traveling at a speed of 40-50 miles per hour. They will take your statement & information over the phone. Please contact me first @661-833-8900
