Hello everyone,

My name is Seena Miremadi, and I'm reaching out on behalf of my incredible friend Kyle Freud, better known in the off-road world as PlaidWagon (@_plaidwagon_ on Instagram and elsewhere).

Kyle is one of the most genuine, passionate, and giving people you'll ever meet. He's been a cornerstone of the Land Cruiser and off-road community for years-sharing builds, trail adventures, knowledge, and encouragement with everyone from newbies to seasoned wheelers. Beyond that, he's an amazing husband and father who puts his family first every single day. His positive energy, humor, and willingness to help others have touched so many lives.

Tragically, on the early morning of February 8, 2026, Kyle was involved in a serious car accident on Interstate 70 eastbound near Fruita, Colorado (around milepost 22). According to the Colorado State Patrol and news reports (KRDO), a horse wandered onto the highway and was struck by two vehicles, including Kyle's Land Cruiser, which rolled. Kyle sustained life-threatening injuries, was trapped in the vehicle, and had to be airlifted to the hospital. He's currently fighting for his recovery in the ICU/hospital, facing a long road ahead with surgeries, rehabilitation, and extensive medical care.

This has turned Kyle and his family's world upside down in an instant. His beloved truck (the Land Cruiser he poured so much time and heart into) is totaled. He won't be able to work for months—or longer-during his recovery. The medical bills are already mounting rapidly, and there are additional costs like ongoing therapy, home modifications, child care, household bills piling up while he's sidelined, and support for his wife and kids who are going through this nightmare with him.

We're asking for your prayers, good thoughts, and any financial help you can provide. Kyle has always been the one lifting others up-now it's our turn to lift him.

Every dollar raised will go directly to:

• Medical bills, hospital stays, surgeries, and medications

• Rehabilitation and physical therapy

• Replacing lost income while he can't work

• Supporting his family (child care, daily expenses, and keeping things stable at home)

• Any other accident-related costs (e.g., towing

vehicle replacement if insurance falls short)

We will post regular updates here on his progress, photos (as appropriate and with family permission), and how your support is making a real difference.

Transparency is important-funds are managed through GoFundMe and will be used solely for Kyle and his family's needs.

If you've ever crossed paths with Kyle on the trail, in a forum, or through his content, you know what an impact he's had. Even a small donation or simply sharing this page can help ease this burden and give his family some breathing room during this incredibly tough time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support, prayers, or shares. Kyle is a fighter, and with this community's love and help, he'll get through this and come back stronger.

With deep gratitude,

Seena Miremadi
