Can’t be good if they had to Med-Evac at least one!!! :-[[
Two people were taken by helicopter, it was a seventy year old lady and her husband. I can’t remember her name. I held her head for her until the first responders showed up. The husband and wife both had cuts on their necks. They also had bruises on their chests,both complain about their chests hurting more than anything else. I would like to know what her name is and find out if they are ok.
That was very kind of you! 👍👍👍
I drove by and saw all the passerby’s helping. Thank you to everyone that stopped to help!! First responders usually advise passerby’s to continue on and not to stop because sometimes it can do more harm then good , even if your intent is to be helpful. Such as removing someone from a vehicle that should have been left until they can be safely extricated. Unless the person is unresponsive and needs CPR or the car is obviously not safe to be in.. fire ECT… if you have any medical knowledge or just want to be there to calm someone, that’s so important.
That was our dentist, from Redway. Dr Dabari, and his wife Lynn. Hoping them the best.
Oh dear. My dentist for many years. Hoping for a swift recovery for both. Now I am worried about their little dog. Was it with them?
No, the little dog passed 2 yrs ago. She was very Loved.
I drove by as medical was arriving.. didn’t look good but I was told they were ok. Major damage on passenger side of vehicle. Thanks to all the passerby’s who stopped to help!!
Hope all involved will be fine. Thank God for Med-Evac choppers. I joined the Air Med Flight, and it gives my wife and myself peace of mind knowing it is one more option that can help us in the case of an accident. If you are interested, look into the program. It is worth every penny.
Our Flight medics are amazing! The only problem is they can’t fly In cloudy/rainy weather. Which is when most of the terrible accidents Happen.
Keep us posted on how they’re doing! Hope for a speedy recovery.
Hello everyone! Just wanted to update everyone and let you guys know they are ok! Frank and Lynn are my grandparents. Frank has been released from the hospital with bruisings and Lynn is still in the hospital with multiple fractures.
That is wonderful that they will be okay! Thank you for letting us know. Please let them know we are pulling for them.
Hi Kym, was there an i.d. on fatal crash victim out Burnt Ranch way.
Not so far. And it seems a bit odd.
Hi Kim, was there injuries to the second car occupants? Thank you!
I just don’t know. I called CHP and they promised to call me back but haven’t
Sophia I adore your grandparents. They are more then my dentist. They are friends. I’m praying for them and send our love. If I can be of any help to them. Cooking meals and delivering or anything, please let me know. Maybe through Kym Kemp we could get you my number if its needed. Honestly, if they need anything I’m just a short distance and can help. I don’t doubt that the family is near at this time to. Just lending an extra hand if needed. Please tell them Jessica and family send love and prayers ♡
