The Kern County Coroner’s Office has identified James T. Kelly, 69, of Lake Isabella, as the person struck by a pickup truck Friday evening about 6:30 p.m., when, according to witnesses, he attempted to cross Lake Isabella Blvd. in his motorized wheelchair.
The incident occurred in the 6100 block of Lake Isabella Blvd., in Lake Isabella, near West America Bank to the east and Shady Lane Saloon to the west. The stretch of roadway is not particularly well lit.
