Accident update

Kent and I have been trying to find out more information on the accident that we found on Sunday morning but couldn't seem to find anything. Today, Wednesday, I received a call from a State Patrol officer wanting a bit more information about the accident. After I gave him that information I asked if he could tell me if the guy made it or not. He told me that he was alive but in critical condition in a good hospital. That was a piece of good news that at least he was alive. So about this same time one of the IT guys in our office was able to search the internet better than I and he found the following story. Then to top it off another guy in our IT department is from Prosser and he knows this young man and his family. Very small world! So maybe we can get some updates on him!

Man in critical condition after rolling JeepYakima Herald-Republic


PROSSER -- An 18-year-old man was in critical condition after rolling his Jeep Wrangler Sunday morning on Interstate 82 just west of Prosser, authorities said.
Amauri Rivera was being treated at Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center, a nursing supervisor said Sunday evening.
Rivera, who was not wearing a seat belt, was thrown from the Jeep shortly after 9 a.m. when he lost traction on the sleet-covered roadway and overturned twice, landing on the outside shoulder, the Washington State Patrol reported.
Intoxicants were not believed to be involved, dispatchers said. The Jeep was destroyed.
