A Bakersfield couple was injured Wednesday afternoon in a weather-related accident on Highway 166 east of Maricopa.
California Highway Patrol spokesman Justin Olson said the accident happened when the couple’s car hit a flooded portion of the road, hydroplaned in the water, and overturned.
Betty Gail Scroggins, 56, was driving her 2008 Lexus eastbound on 166 a half-mile east of Pentland Road when the car hit the flooded roadway, Olson said.
Betty Scroggins was flown to Kern Medical Center with neck and back injuries.
Her husband, Jim Lee Scroggins, 55, was taken to KMC by ground ambulance with a facial laceration and back injuries.
