A member of our riding group was killed at LS this Friday. Obviously I wasn't there so I don't know exactly what happened. According to the newspaper article, the incident happened around 1 pm on Friday. He was riding over a 65 foot high dune and apparently didnt know about the drop off on the other side. He flew off the banshee head first, suffering serious head trauma.
That's all of the exact info that I have. Of course there are several stories flyiing around as to what happened. Apparently, there was an emergency medical technician who drove over to help him but couldnt revive him. Props to the med tech for trying.
Darran was a great guy, and will be greatly missed!! Definately something that will stick in our mind when we ride the dunes from now on. Just thought I would share in case any of you had heard and was curious as to what happen.
