My dear friend and fellow blogger (also a guest blogger on The Wet Nose), Rachel will be getting married this weekend, but she and her family have endured a horrific week. Here brother is in the hospital, and two of their dogs are missing after a fatal car accident in Eagle, Idaho. On Monday morning her brother, John, was in a serious car accident. He was okay, but it took 30 stitches and 10 staples to put his head back together, and he was released from the hospital that same day. The next day, Tuesday, John and his mom were driving and a car hit them head on, on the same road John had the accident on Monday. The other vehicle was apparently driving recklessly, Rachel's and John’s mom tried to swerve around the other vehicle, but it didn’t work. Luckily, both John and Mrs. Crosby were wearing their seat belts, and driving Rachel’s father’s big truck. While Mrs. Crosby walked away from the accident, John was not so lucky. He was pinned in the truck, and had to be cut out by the Jaws of Life. John and the two passengers from the other vehicle were all air lifted to the hospital.
John is going to be okay, but he broke his left tibia and fibula and his right foot was crushed. He also broke his back in two places. He underwent surgery to put a rod in his left leg and to realign the bones in his right foot, and the surgery went well, and he is recovering. However, he won't be able to watch his little sister walk down the aisle this weekend. The other vehicle involved had two passengers, neither was wearing a seat belt, the driver died, and the passenger remains in critical condition. My prayers are with all those involved in this terrible tragedy.
Three of the family’s dogs were in the truck during the accident, and all survived. Roo was found, but Cam and Otter took off running out of fear, and are yet to be found. A sighting of the dogs heading North (from the accident site), which is in the direction of Rachel’s parent’s house, has been reported. It is very likely Cam and Otter are trying to find their way home, her parent’s address does not appear on Google maps, but it is near Black Canyon Reservoir in Emmett.
Please pass on the info to anyone you know that lives in Idaho, or may be traveling through. The dogs are most likely frightened from the accident, but are friendly, and answer to the names Otter and Camo.
