View Full Version : Rollover Accident in Boulder Canyon
A truck "launched" into the far side of Boulder Creek and landed upside down. This is around Sugarloaf Rd. All that was visible was the wheels. Two people ejected. One removed by Flight For Life. The second, an 11yo girl, was swept down river. A retrieval, at the mouth of the canyon, was unsuccessful. She was caught at 6th and put into an ambulance.
Boulder Canyon is still closed.

Damn
The wife and I were up hiking on Mt. Sanitas and have never heard as many sirens as there were this afternoon in the entire time we've lived here.

How is the girl still alive??

She traveled about 4 miles, in high runoff conditions. I don't think she made it.

She's being reported as deceased. Damn.
The creek looked like it was really flowing in that picture! Glad that the rescue teams put forth such a strong effort to try and save her.

Everything in the mountains is flowing fast right now. Lots of melt off, and thunderstorms make for swollen creeks.
I never want to be that dad.

This was Boulder Creek last Sunday. I can only imagine with the snowmelt and rain it's even worse now.
Turns out I know the family. He is a good father and friend. Both girls are great kids. I can't imagine what the family is going through.
There are a lot of wet eyes in Nederland and Rollinsville today.
R.I.P. young one.
