Jeep falls off Black Bear Pass

quote:

---

A woman and two dogs were in the red Jeep Wrangler pictured below, waiting for the driver to return from helping another car when it slid off the trail, ejecting her while rolling several times. While the vehicle was almost completely destroyed the female passenger survived, albeit with serious injuries. One of the two dogs is also reported missing, while the other is ok.

UPDATE: On Tuesday morning, we were contacted by the Jeep's owner. He tells us that Decker, the missing dog, has been located safe and sound. However, he tells The Drive that the 23-year-old woman ejected from the vehicle has severe spinal injuries, and has a very long road to recovery. He says that if you could like to help, you can donate to help cover her medical bills here.

"Jeep that rolled off and down several switchbacks from Black Bear Pass onto Bridal Veil Road in Telluride. The 22yr old male, who was the driver of the Jeep Wrangler Sport, told Deputies he had shut off the engine, applied the emergency brake and stepped out of the vehicle to help direct a driver behind him around a tight turn. The Jeep started to roll with his 23yr old female friend in the passenger seat. He tried to jump back into the vehicle to try and steer it, but he was thrown into rocks when it left the road."

What happened to the dude who took the quick way down?

A little bit of Bondo and a fresh paint job, that jeep will be good as new.

Not anymore.

That whole area is sketchy

I bet that he feels pretty terrible about that. Glad no one died at least.

This is why women shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Could have been you

Rule 1 of high consequence 4wheeling:

Never trust the E brake.
Chock the damn wheels and leave it in gear.

We were on a treacherous trail in Colorado last week on 4wheelers when a local came past us in a 3/4 ton truck dragging a camper. Some people just ain't scared of shite
