We are friends and loved ones of Brett Rogers

On April 4 2026, Brett was in a life changing motorcycle accident while riding with Nuggets / Friends.

Riding back from Cafe 247 in Lucerne on Hwy 138, Brett was hit head-on by an oncoming SUV that came over the center-line.

Luckily he was able to avoid the vehicle enough to safe his life, but he sustained major injuries to his left hip and leg (and totaled the Road Glide).

He was sent by ambulance and admitted to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center admitted with a shattered pelvis and hip and an open (compound) fracture on his tibia plateau and started leg stabilizing procedures.

April 6, 2026 surgeons did a 8 hour ‘leg salvage’ surgery to clean out the shattered bone and cartilage, repair the damage and tendons and add hardware.

The surgeon said it was a very serious injury and would be a long road but we are so lucky to have Brett intact sustaining no head trauma, brain or spinal injuries.

Brett was discharged and sent home to heal on April 12 - no weight on leg for 8-12 weeks and started improving and getting mobile on crutches while the leg and hip continued to heal.

On June 3 at a routine follow-up, it was found that he needed to return to the hospital due to a deep infection in the open fracture wound and kept him there until June 22 doing multiple surgeries in that time.

The last surgery on June 15 included replacing hardware, repairing a tendon and a muscle and skin graft to fill the hole below his knee.

Brett has had 8 surgeries now and had a PICC line put in to administer at-home antibiotics every 8 hours until September (3 months) to continue treating the infection and give his leg time to heal as well as rehab.

While this infection has been a setback, Brett's in good spirits and is strong and healthy so we have all faith he will be able to get back to life and work but it's a long hard process.

Brett is an independent licensed plumber and newer small business owner so this has taken huge toll on life.

To know him is to love him and we do and have set this up (humbly) to help take some financial pressure off him for these coming months as the hospital bills roll in.

If you are able to donate and/or share please do. If you have his number he is on strict bedrest for time being and is texting and taking calls.

Thank you for your kindness xoxo
