Dangerous Imogene Pass todat

[Sorbs]

Pictures can be deceiving... but the trail doesn’t look particularly tight in this photo. How did they manage to go over?!?

Unknown to me. Someone said they were letting traffic pass.

I'm amazed they're alive after falling all that way! Just curious, how does insurance react typically to damage done while trail riding? Do they treat it different than the roadside?

In Colorado most of those trails are either county roads or Forest Roads. So technically you aren't off road (just off pavement) as such they should still cover you.

Roll cage performed admirably, operators cabin is largely unscathed.

Agreed. Though I must admit the blood on the headrest in the second photo is a bit unnerving. Hope they are ok.

I saw a post related to that recovery on FB. Sounded like they were severely injured but made it out ok.

As for that drunk guy, I hope he let someone else drive him off the hill!

The drunk Raptor guy should have been throat punched. At the least, should have been pinned down until the cops got there. I believe it was last year a drunk driver went off the side of Black Bear Pass before the steps. Sheriff arrested him. Sheriff on the Telluride side wants to close some of these trails. Asswipes like the Raptor driver just gives him ammo.

Here's a shot from the ridge across from the accident with my telephoto. You can see both occupants still in their seats. The rescue was very technical and I imagine the lift out was very painful too.

"And, though their Jeep had a soft top, the roll bars remained intact, further protecting them as they careened down the gully. Lilly said based on the damage to the vehicle, they may have also gone end over end. It is not known what caused the couple’s Jeep to leave the road, she added."
