On July 16, 2014, at 2130 Pacific daylight time, a Beech B100, N6756P, experienced an uncontained failure of its left engine in flight near Bakersfield, California.

There were no injuries, and the pilot made a successful landing at Meadows Field Airport, Bakersfield. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, and no flight plan had been filed. The flight originated at South Lake Tahoe, California, about 2030.
