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.

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

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.

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.
