Off-Road Crash in Parker

[RiverRatMike]

There was a off-road crash involving a high performance blue sandrail that crashed into a power poll on Friday evening. I was going to the river house and turned down on my street and saw tons of rescue vehicles and a life flight helicoptor getting ready to land. Just was curious if anyone here knew this guy and what his condition is? Was told they air lifted him to Vegas. The guy looked pretty bad but no damage to the rail that I could tell from my view. I'll post some photos tomorrow....

[djunkie]

Did you get a good look at the driver? Was it a short kinda heavy guy?

Sorry to hear about the other guy in the blue rail.

[PunkAssBitch]

does anyone know if JP was out there with his rail this weekend?

[djunkie]

Is his car even running yet? :confused:
I'm not sure. I talked to him last week and he said he was gonna be out there memorial weekend but didn't say anything about this weekend. I'll call him in a little bit.

I think she might have been thinking of Jackpunx (Mark). The "kinda heavy set" statement fits JP. Just don't tell him I said that. :D :D

Was it a Desert Dynamics car?

If your thinking it was JP's DD car it wasn't. Just talked to him a little while ago. Hopefully who ever it was will be ok.

[Opinionated]

I don't know JP, but I know a guy who has a house in Havasu and takes his car to Parker once in awhile. His name is Rich and he has a blue DD car.

Looks like it rolled. Damage to the roof rack, damage to the motor cage, and dirt all over the top, upper side cage and motor cage.

yup same spot. seen quite a few crashes in that area over the years. People need to slow down!

[Boatcop]

Passengers were ejected.
What the hell were they doing jammin' in one of those without belts or harness on?

[Boatcop]

That CareFlight chopper lives right behind my house.
When they first based it there, it kinda annoyed me when they took off right over my house. Then I started to think about if they had to come after me. Would I want them to alter their flight plan and cost a few minutes?
Now it's kind of comforting.

Doesn't look good, picture is hard to see but it looks like they are bagging the patient.

:::sigh::: I've lost a few friends for the exact same reason...and they all would've walked away pretty much unharmed if they had only buckled up. :(
I sincerely hope that the victims of this accident make full recoveries.

Thats unfortunate, with the amount of damage, they probably would have kept right on trucking with a good story if they had been strapped in.
You ALWAYS have to buckle up like you are going to get in the big wreck.
Hopefully this is a good lesson to everyone, including myself.

They say most accident happen within 5 miles of your home, especially if just on an errand.....we humans tend to get sloppy for the quick ride around the block, so to speak.
I sure hope these people will be ok..

my thoughts exactly

[Riverkid]

Is that a Penhall buggy?

[boatnam2]

our rhino got stuck this weekend just after dark,i could see from a couple of miles away they were trying to get out....well my brother which i guess tryed like 20 times to get out but couldnt buckled up everytime except the last time(verified by my wife)the last time he made it out only to go over the top into a another revene unbuckled and rolled just once thank god he was ejected and got a little road rash but came out pretty good after seeing what he did.

was hoping to find out what happened with this guy but no one seems to know anything about him.

[JGRiver]

Those were my friends in the car. All 3 in the backseat were ejected from the car. The guy you see being airlifted was sent to Vegas and is doing better, and coming home tomorrow. His wife was airlifted to Phoenix and is now home and has a few fractures. The third guy in the backseat was also later airlifted to Vegas with some neck and shoulder damage but is now also home safely here in orange county. The driver was fine and passenger had a broken arm. All were lucky to be alive, let alone walking around and on the road to a full recovery. The car is owned by friends of ours who live near Badenochs and we all have places on the California side of the river at River Shore. Thanks for the pictures and the thoughts and concern.

[Robert1050]

Wow! I'm going to have to check on this one - it sounds like the crash my neighbors where in (they live right next door to us in Anaheim), Robert & Chrisa - they were the passengers in the back seat. Chrisa came home yesterday with her mom, my G/F & I spent some time talking to her last night. She's doing OK, but is having a lot of trouble getting around (fractures). Robert will be released from the hospital in Vegas in the next couple of days, but he's still suffering from his head injury. Still has some short term memory loss. Chrisa doesn't remember anything from the accident.

thanks for the update

I sincerely hope that the victims of this accident make full recoveries.
The owner of the Chuys restaurant chain, Mark Evanson,, a quadrapelegic from a simple rollover in his jeep near Tucson.
41 store, very sucessfull chain west of Texas,, he finally made it big, a multi millionaire and didn't buckle his belt.
AZ highway workers said he was traveling about 30 MPH, turned the wheel to avoid a traffic cone when the rollover happened.
I'd rather be broke and walking than rich and a quad.

[hollywood7]

robert- it was the accident with Rob and Chrisa.
Everybody is doing well and lucky and happy and thankful to be alive.
There were 5 of us in the buggy and 4 of us were injured. The driver is alright physically but very shaken.
The front passenger broke her arm and had surgery and is home doing well.
I was in the rear driver side, and rob and Chrisa were next to me in the back, we were all ejected, i had surgery to fuse my c-7 and t-1 together with titanium and a broken scapula (shoulder), i went home the thursday after the accident and am doing well.
Chrisa is home with broken ribs and a collapsed lung, and broken pelvis, and healing.
Rob came home today from vegas and is going to have to do some therapy for his severe concussion. He is doing much better now than he was a few days ago but still feeling the effects and having some trouble. Hopefully he will continue to heal quickly and make a full recovery. He also has a broken pelvis.
Thank you everybody for your thoughts, prayers, and concerns.

[hollywood7]

Any More updates on this? I am in River Shore, Hope everyone is doing ok
we are in rivershore also, we were visiting our friends across the river at the time.

[Phat Matt]

What happened and how come it seems nobody was buckled in? :confused:
I am glad everyone is doing better.

[faster]

we are in rivershore also, we were visiting our friends across the river at the time.
Sounds like everybody was busted up pretty good but are all doing much better now.
I'll be out there soon. PM me if you need me to check on your place or anything as I'm sure you left in a bit of a hurry. My name is John and I'm on the up river side of the park 2nd row up.
Heal Fast

[tapialuv]

I'm Chrisa's cousin, Julianna. It warms my heart to see how many people have showed their concern for complete strangers, thank you all! And thank you to Derek for responding with such factual details! Hope you are feeling better!!!
I am amazed at how quickly everyone is healing and just pray that Robert will feel the power of all of the prayers going out for him and have a full recovery, fast. He is now in a hospital where he can see his wife, family, and friends everyday, which I think will really help:)

[MudPumper]

Let this be a lesson guys. Take the extra 15 sec and buckle your belts. Even if you are just going down the street. I'm sure all of this could have been avoided. Glad everybody is recovering. :)

[Chipster27]

As they say when you ride bikes, don't dress for the ride, dress for the crash. Saved my bacon twice...

[Robert1050]

Thanks for the update guys, I just got back from Havasu (late) and didn't have an internet connection. I'll stop by & check in with Chrisa tomorrow when I get home from work.

[Wet Dream]

What happened and how come it seems nobody was buckled in? :confused:
I'm glad everyone is ok. But as many times as this question has been asked, the only reply seems to be "thanks for the well wishes". Nobody has addressed this question and come up with some logical explanation as to why all 5 of them thought it was a great idea to take a ride in a serious buggy, and never had the bright light come on and think "I have to put on my seatbelt". Anyone want to take another ride in one and not put your belts on again?

[jackpunx]

I think she might have been thinking of Jackpunx (Mark). The "kinda heavy set" statement fits JP. Just don't tell him I said that. :D :D
OH.. You aint right!..LOL.. Im tellin JP:D
