BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — It was a deadly weekend on the roads as officers with the California Highway Patrol handled two separate crashes on Panama Lane.
On Saturday night just before 8:30 p.m., officers were called to East Panama Lane east of Highway 184 after 20-year-old Danielle Marie Partida Loza of Arvin went off the road and crashed into a utility pole. CHP says Loza, who was not wearing her seatbelt, suffered major injuries and died at the scene.
The road in that area was closed for several hours for the crash investigation and to repair the pole and power lines. CHP is also investigating whether alcohol or drugs were a factor in this deadly crash.

And just after 1 p.m. on Sunday officers were called to Panama Lane east of Fairfax Road for a deadly two-vehicle crash.
The CHP says 18-year-old Brian Alejandro Martinez Palomares of Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico was driving a motorcycle when he failed to slow down with traffic as it was slowing for a previous crash and struck the back of another vehicle.
As a result, Palomares was thrown from his motorcycle and died from his injuries.
