Lets Help Rachael Grey

I believe we as a club should help Rachel. She is a part of our four wheeling family and was involved in a tragic accident. This type of accident could happen to any one of us. There might be some controversy surrounding the events but we need to look past that and help a woman in critical condition. Pending member approval we will take some sort of a collection at Thursday's meeting. I am including some news reports.



Thanks

Sacramento Bee: An El Dorado Hills woman remains in critical condition after her vehicle rolled off the Rubicon Trail, causing a 2-acre forest fire and stranding as many as 300 other Jeeps participating in the Jeepers Jamboree.

Rachel Anne Gray, 21, was part of a large caravan of off-road enthusiasts driving northbound on an El Dorado County road early Saturday evening when the 1961 Jeep Willy she was driving careened off an embankment near Cadillac Hill, said officer Dan Stark, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.

The vehicle overturned several times, ejecting Gray and a 34-year-old male passenger from Pilot Hill before catching fire, Stark said.

Both Gray and the passenger were transported to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, he said.

A hospital spokeswoman confirmed Gray's condition early Monday afternoon. The passenger suffered minor injuries.

By early Monday morning, the fire was contained and the rugged, rocky road reopened.

Lacey Stiles, an employee of the Georgetown-based event, said the trail was reopened at 7 a.m., thanks to the hard work of the U.S. Forest Service, which is battling the fire.

While some of the Jeeps turned back, most - lacking enough fuel for the return trip - waited the fire out before completing the final three to four hours of the trip toward Lake Tahoe.
