It is very unfortunate what happened. I showed my kids this picture and told them a little about what had happened. They noticed she wasn't wearing a seat belt. And now they understand why I get on to them about wearing a seat belt.

From the original article posted by the OP:


Attendees of the Jeepers Jamboree said that Rachel Gray was not part of the event but was traveling though independently.

The Jeepers Jamboree guests and staff were in a safe environment in the Rubicon Springs. The Rubicon Trail, a County Road, was closed at the commonly known spot of Cadillac Hill.

I have heard the same from first hand witnesses. The leaking fuel tank or cans made it worse.

I'm torn about this story. It is sad. It is tragic. It could have been so easily avoided.
