BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — One person is dead following a solo-vehicle crash that sparked a brush fire on the southbound lanes of I-5 in Gorman, according to the California Highway Patrol.

On Wednesday, Fort Tejon CHP officers were dispatched to a brush fire on I-5, south of Gorman School Road, around 9:30 p.m.

Officials at the scene found a crashed 2012 Honda off the west side of the highway with a deceased person inside.

The brush fire prompted CHP to close the southbound number four lane while officials investigated. Southbound lanes reopened at 2:30 a.m. Thursday morning.

The crash remains under investigation.

Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call CHP Fort Tejon Officer D. Williams at 661-248-6655.
