Juventino Dominguez dies in Kern County car vs bike collision

BAKERSFIELD, CA, (April 11, 2026) – A 67-year-old man was fatally injured Saturday night after being struck by a vehicle while riding a bicycle in Bakersfield, authorities said.

The Kern County Coroner’s Office identified the victim as Juventino Dominguez of Bakersfield.

Officials said Dominguez was riding along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard at Murdock Street when he was hit by a car at approximately 9 p.m. He was transported to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.


CRASH INVESTIGATION NEEDED

Unlike occupants of vehicles, bicyclists lack protection such as seat belts and airbags, making them especially vulnerable on roadways.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1,105 bicyclists were killed in traffic crashes in 2022, a 13% increase from 976 in 2021.

“Cyclists face significant risks on the road, and multiple factors can contribute to serious collisions,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal and an experienced bicycle accident attorney. “Determining the exact cause of these crashes is critical. An attorney can review insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate witnesses.”

Bond added that in cases like this, initiating an independent investigation as soon as possible is essential to preserve key evidence.


WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

Pending the results of any investigations, the family members of Juventino Dominguez may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.

Surviving family members may seek compensation for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic accident.

“Families grieving the loss of a loved one are often overwhelmed by the legal process,” said Stefano Formica, of counsel at Bond Legal. “An attorney can provide compassionate guidance during this difficult time and help ensure that those left behind receive the compensation they deserve.”
