Default Death from Jeep rollover on Rubicon

A woman who's Jeep rolled over multiple times after veering off the Rubicon Trail has died from burns over 90% of her body. Here's a link to an article regarding the accident:

Accident Burns Rachel Gray, 21, of El Dorado Hills & Delays Jeepers Jamboree. Rachel Anne Gray Dies from Injuries | In El Dorado County

This is just a sobering reminder that what we do out on the trail is potentially very dangerous. Every precaution should be made to ensure that our rigs are in top condition, we are fully aware of our surroundings and are educated on the actual capabilities of our individual Jeeps.

Thank you for posting the FB page. I hadn't seen that. I didn't know her, just heard about the story. Looked like she was so full of life. She probably lit up every room when she was around. Very very sad.

Wonder if they're going to have a Jeep convoy in her memory.
