Multiple Motorcycles Crash while Fleeing Bakersfield Police during ‘Motorcycle Takeover’
BAKERSFIELD, CA (September 9, 2021) – On Saturday in Bakersfield, multiple people were arrested in connection with a “motorcycle takeover” that also involved a multi-vehicle pileup. The September 4 crash occurred close to P Street and Brundage Lane.
According to Bakersfield Police, when officers approached a crowd that was in the vicinity of Cottonwood Road and Feliz Drive, they encountered a confrontation.
Throughout the day, reports say, some individuals were not obeying traffic laws, and officers impounded some vehicles.
A motorcyclist abandoned his bike and fled on foot from officers in the area of Columbus Street and Union Avenue. He was later arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, reports say. He was identified as Andrew Wade, a resident of Sacramento, 27 years old.
Officers also pursued roughly 100 motorcyclists in the area of P Street and Brundage Lane. According to the Bakersfield Police Department, motorcyclists were traveling on the median, sidewalk, and both sides of the road.
Reports say that one of the motorcyclists turned to gesture obscenely to the officers, and he hit a detour sign. The motorcycle went out of his control, and a pileup occurred.
As many as 10 people were involved in the pileup crash, according to reports.
Police arrested two people on suspicion of trying to flee the scene on foot. They were identified as Brad Russell, a resident of Bakersfield, 32 years old; and Daniel Hernandez, also a resident of Bakersfield, 20 years old.
Reports do not say if anyone was hurt in the motorcycle crash.
Investigators are continuing to work on the incident.
