Two girls are taken to the hospital after driving an ATV over a 150 foot ravine near Featherville. Witnesses tell us the girls went over the edge of the ravine at about 3:00 p.m. Saturday. They tell us one girl was unconscious and another was hurt, but was responding to rescue crews.It took several hours for crews to reach them in the ravine because hospital helicopters couldn't land near the crash site. They had to land at the trailhead in Featherville, and use ATV's with trailers to get them to the helicopters. No word on the their conditions.
This is what the news reported of my Niece Lyndsy on Saturday night, June 21. Lyndsy and her friend Angie were lifeflighted to St. Als hospital. Both girls are recovering well. Lyndsy had a 4 hour surgery the night of the accident to clean up an open wound on her leg and to also put a rod on her broken femur. Angie suffered head trauma and a broken pelvis which she is going in for surgery today.
We are very proud of Lyndsy, she is a very strong girl and we love her very much! She is being moved from ICU today to a regular
hospital room! Please keep Lyndsy and Angie in your prayers for continued good recovery!

Oh, Kristy - what a miracle that they both survived - their guardian angels were definitely working overtime that day! I rode ATVs as a kid, and had a couple of close calls, and a friend of my nephew's when they were in high school came within minutes of dying from his injuries after flipping their ATV. My experiences are nothing compared to going off a 150-foot cliff. Lyndsy and her friend will both be in my prayers for a speedy recovery! Would you mind if I posted your story on my blog, too? I've got some readers that will say their prayers, too! -Marielle
