Title: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: MrPolaris on February 22, 2005, 03:01:30 PM Does anyone know how he is? I was on the River Ranch, North of 60, and rode down a main road to some camp sites by the lake. I saw a young man had been hit bad by a yellow truck. There's no way the man had a chance to avoid it--It looked as if the truck was speeding from the tire marks by the truck I looked aroundand shortly left after that. I'm curious as to if he is ok.

Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: Kris_Moore on February 24, 2005, 05:08:21 AM I havent heard anything about it, I live across the road(sam keen) from the main gate, and have a camp on the north side. I'll try to make it over to the gate and check with the gate keeper tonight, and i'll let you know what i find out.
Btw: did you see the 2 trucks taht have flipped out there recently. Thre was a new chevy 4 door that rolled right in front of our buggy, and then there was a f-150 supercrew tharolled down the road from the pond/mudhole (the dirt road that goes straight from sam keen) Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: MrPolaris on February 24, 2005, 06:33:27 AM Thanks for the reply guys. I didn't hear about the truck that rolled! I saw an old abandoned ford 4x4 in a mudhole a bit east of Jimmy's store (BP on 60 that is closed). This accident happened where you make a right turn off sam Keene road (by the white sign) --go past the mudhole on the left--continue down the graded road until the 1st road/cattle gate on the right. It's about 1/4 mile down the road on the right.
Seems that a lot of people get hurt out there. Hopefully those guys in the trucks are ok. I'd hate to roll my new truck! John. Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: Kris_Moore on February 25, 2005, 04:46:13 AM As far as I know everyone from the 2 trucks I saw were ok, at least until their parents found out.
I went to the gate last night and the gate keeper had'nt heard about anyone getting hit, but I'm sure if he wasn't ok we would have heard about it. Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: MrPolaris on February 25, 2005, 05:13:06 AM There was only one truck. Some young boy driving a yellow company truck--I forgot the name, had hit a man on a 4wheeler. I think it was a polaris to be honest. You better believe he lost his job. The damage to the truck was well over $2-3500!! He shouldnt of had a company truck back there anyways. Maybe I can get up there and snoop around..lol What were you riding? Did you see it happen?
Thanks Again! Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: MrPolaris on April 10, 2005, 06:47:43 PM Word sure does get around down there about this incident.
Seems that someone else got hurt again this weekend on the north side. There was a big meeting with everyone about not letting people out there with passes, etc, etc. I even saw a few faces I saw when this boy got hit. A few pictures may help him out to identify who hit him...if you're readin this shoot me an email! Hope everyone stays safe and dont drink and ride!

Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: MrPolaris on April 11, 2005, 06:08:08 AM No it was some other company truck...it had a welder in the back of it...a huge one.
Either way, I've seen people on quads out there go around a blind corner at 50mph, same with cars & trucks. It's a wander more people arent hurt out there. We have a good thing, lets not ruin it, ya know? Title: Re: Young man in River Ranch hit by truck 2-19 Post by: Thrasher on April 11, 2005, 12:43:11 PM i am picking up my flag this PM.
