Praying for fast recovery 😔💔
If that makes YOU feel better then it is not completely worthless.
Wow hmm! Did your comment make you feel better?
Hope this man has a complete and speedy recovery.
Please all be careful no matter where and what you’re driving. Our roads and trails leave little margin for error or the unexpected.
Assaulted by a sidebyside?
Please keep your trolling comments out of this tragic accident. Al is a beloved husband, father and friend. He just exchanged vows with the love of his life and mother of his daughter less than two weeks ago. He has a increadably warm smile and a kind heart. Courtney, if we can help you in any way please let us know. We are praying for Al and your family. Love,
-The Almquists
Thank you..well said.. I asked my comment be removed because I felt it wasn’t any better than that one I was responding too. no matter who you are, you wouldn’t want to be in that situation. Have respect for the family as you would hope for yours
I asked a simple question, the statement reads,” victim’s” , should say “driver’s”, if this person was driving , otherwise victim implies that someone was ran over by someone operating a sidebyside.
Thank you mad river
Hey Lone ranger, try to refrain from making [edit] comments like that. A Family man was seriously injured and had to be flown to a good hospital, which we really don’t have in this area. If you have never driven that road, than you have no idea of how dangerous it can be. It’s not a 6 lane Freeway. During the 1964 Floods, that road was the only way in and out of Humboldt County via Hwy. 101, I know, I had to drive over it a couple of times and I wouldn’t want to really drive over it in good weather. Please be more compassionate. Thank You.
Had a neighbor killed with a quad.
Meanwhile… if you are handling a quad… or a side-by-side.
Please remember some safety ‘rules’.
Wear a helmet.
Wear seat belts if operating a side-by-side.
Booze or buds… bad.
Operating quads and side-by-sides are illegal on public highways in California.
BTW: I don’t know if this driver was (or was not) wearing a helmet or using a seat belt… or whatever.
It’s a dangerous world out there, be careful.
