Anthony Campo, 33, Kern County Crash on Highway 46 Near Gun Club

KERN COUNTY, CA (October 6, 2022) – A fatal semi-truck crash left Anthony Campo injured on Highway 46 in Kern County.

The California Highway Patrol identified the 33-year-old Wasco man as one of the victims of the wreck which took place on Wednesday.

The incident happened when Anthony C. Campo was driving a 2010 Freightliner west on Highway 46, just east of Gun Club Road, in Kern County. At the same time, a 2022 Freightliner was going east.

The driver of the second big rig, Lovepreet S. Dhillon, crossed over the broken yellow line for an unknown reason. The 32-year-old Bakersfield resident then went partially in the westbound lanes.

2 Killed in Wreck

In the process, the 2022 Freightliner slammed into into the other tractor-trailer. The 2022 big rig continued spinning out of control eastbound and hit a 2003 Toyota on the north shoulder.

CHP said the truck pushed the car backwards. The big rig rolled over and landed on top of the Toyota. The accident occurred on October 5 at about 5:46 a.m., east of Lost Hills and near Wasco.

Both Anthony Campo and Lovepreet Dhillon sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash. Paramedics soon provided treatment to the patients at the site.

The Kern Golden Empire and Taft Midway Driller wrote that the two people riding the car died at the scene of the collision. Their vehicle ended up trapped underneath a trailer.

Meanwhile, officers forced the westbound lanes of Highway 46 to shut down for hours following the wreck. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
