<div>Our friend Darren Webster was severely injured in an an auto/pedestrian accident in Ensenada, MX during Baja 1000 contingency on Thursday November 14. He has been in the ICU for 36 hours after 7 hours of surgery for a crushed pelvis, internal bleeding and partially severed hand. Funds are being raised to cover the air-ambulance expenses back to Utah and any additional surgeries he will require.

<div>Darren is an incredible husband, loving father and doting grandpa. And speaking for everyone that knows him, he is also highly sarcastic and quick to belly laughter. Darren lost a finger as a young kid in a hydraulic press and while in the emergency room in Ensenada before being sedated for surgery he joked with the doctor that he came in with 10 fingers and wanted to know what happened to it. There is hope that the surgeons in the US can save his 4 fingered hand.

</div>
<div>We appreciate all the outpouring of support from the racing community and all of those back home in the US.

<div>Desert racing has been his passion for almost 15 years and this was to be his 11th Baja 1000. He is surrounded by family and friends and although sedated and in the ICU we know he is battling to get back to them. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families that lost loved ones in the accident. It's been a very difficult few days for all those involved. Darren has a long road ahead of him and getting him back to the US is the first step in that journey.
</div>

</div>
<div>Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated.
</div>

</div>
<div>Thank you for respecting the privacy of the Webster family at this time.

<div><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Darren was able to get home via air ambulance and he is now undergoing multiple surgeries. It will be a long road to recovery, thank you for helping.

<div><strong>UPDATE</strong> 11/24: Darren had a rough few days. They had to open him back up to address some issues internally and it took 3 separate surgeries to resolve them. We, and especially the family, are extremely grateful to everyone that has provided emotional and financial support. The Gofundme donations are truly humbling. He's still waiting on hand surgery while he recovers and rebuilds his strength. We'll continue to update when we can but also trying to be respectful to his and his family's privacy.
</div>
<div>Lots of hope and optimism for his recovery but not out of the woods just yet.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE</strong> 1/2025
</div>
<div>Darren is doing fantastic. He made it to the rehab floor and has been working hard there the past two weeks. He is learning to get around with a walker, using his one good leg and good arm (unfortunately they're on the same side). He is in good spirits and back to his sarcastic self; joking with the various therapists, doctors, and nurses. He is moving to a skilled nursing facility next week where he'll continue therapy and healing while he awaits hand surgery sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.
</div>
<div>The Webster family is beyond grateful for the thoughts, prayers, and outpouring of help.
</div>
<div>Darren is nothing short of a miracle, and we couldn't be happier with his progress.
</div>
<div>In preparation for Darrin’s return home some of his friends got together to demo his basement to add a stair lift and a bathroom that will be walker accessible. Again, a huge thank you for making all of this possible.
