BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) -- Tuesday saw quite the wet start in Bakersfield and parts of Kern County. "Yes, this morning was a very busy time for us and emergency personnel," said Jorge Toro with CHP. "We saw a lot of vehicles spinouts, so the number one thing that causes that is of course, speed." Tuesday morning a semi-truck's trailer hauling hay disconnected and tipped over at the westbound Highway 58 exit to northbound Highway 99. The rainfall made the roads slippery Tuesday. "If you feel yourself hydroplaning, the first thing you got to do is let off the accelerator," said Jorge Toro. "This is how a lot of people crash, is they hit the break and they turn the steering wheel. Either really hard to the left or really hard to the right. Again, maintain two-hand control on that steering wheel, let off the accelerator, and wait until your car regains traction." Tuesday there were puddles all over downtown and central Bakersfield. "For the flooding, if it passes halfway up your tire, it's probably too deep," said Jorge Toro. "I would say stop and turn around to where you came from and find an alternate route." If you do get stranded, evaluate the risk you could be at. "If your car does break down on the highway and you're not in traffic lanes, we always recommend that you stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt on and call 9-1-1," said Jorge Toro. "If your vehicle does become disabled in a traffic lane, and now you're blocking the traffic lane, at that point exit your vehicle, call 9-1-1." Plus remember to turn on your hazard lights to warn other drivers. And drive with your lights on during rainy days no matter the time of day. For traffic updates check CalTrans QuickMap here.
