My brother Dan Wegelin is a remarkable, generous man who has become well-known in the trail-building and mountain biking communities in Colorado. On Thursday, February 27, 2026, he was volunteering with the group COPMOBA (Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association) improving the trails in Confluence Park in Delta, CO when he was charged by a rampaging cow that had escaped from a nearby stockyard. Dan was trying to help his friend with small children get to safety, but the cow charged him and knocked him down a ten foot embankment. The cow also fell down the hill, landing on Dan. It further injured him when it tried to stand up but was unable to. It laid on him for a little while and finally rolled off of him. Dan was finally able to crawl away from the cow and collapsed by his truck. He was transported to Delta Memorial Hospital by ambulance. Later they transferred him to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction. He has a collapsed lung, a pneumothorax, 4 vertebral fractures, crushed ribs, bilateral shoulder injuries, broken fingers, additional knee injuries, a broken clavicle, and numerous cuts and abrasions. He is currently in the ICU at St. Mary's in and likely will have a lengthy road to recovery.
