Again? Sad…
Prayers for the families
Too wet to be up there………sad
Was up there yesterday in my Rubi….way to slick to be out there today!
Drove by the entrance a few hrs ago.
Wonder if it was near the same spot as the last one
If you don’t know the roads don’t drive em at night especially
Surprisingly, this was in broad daylight in the afternoon, but you’re right about knowing the roads.
Or going fast through turns n over steering it, Mother Earth always wins
Many people have died their
They should close it up, too many people die there
Seriously?? And we should close up the freeways because too many people die on them!!!
Yep.
Smart ass seriously?!
Lame!!!!!!
I go up there all the time, it’s safe at anytime, let’s find out what happened and determine a fault. My guess was an accident, doesn’t mean shut it down.
Jillian there are off road accidents all the time and closing this will not solve the problem. They are shutting down OHV areas down all over California and it’s sad because those are the best memories I have as a kid going out with my family riding dirt bikes and enjoying the out doors as well as off roading with my now wife out there when we first met. Kids these days will never get to experience this even though most kids don’t even play out side anymore but taking this away is not the answer cause there will still be off roaders and next time it could be on someone’s personal property and then who is at fault. What we need to do is encourage people to get out of there houses and enjoy the so many amazing places in SCV and California that these OHV places provide. This accident is no different than getting on the 5 freeway or any freeway it’s a risk but people still do it every day. RIP to the fellow off roader and out door enthusiast
Well said Wes

Obviously Jillian doesn’t ride or go off roading. Part of doing the sport is accepting the risk of injury while doing something you love.
Accidents happen all the time I’m sorry for the family but that doesn’t mean we need to close places up . We as off-road enthusiasts know the risks .
Should put a fence on that edge only.

Some of those hills up there are very steep. They can be hairy when it is dry. I will not say anything else, because I have been up there when it was dark and raining. RIP, fellow Jeeper.
Prayers to the family
I hope they don’t close it down I have so many great memory’s of there. Not to mention OHV areas are very limited these days in California
Close it? 100 people die from pen caps per year. Now what

I feel bad for the family of the deceased, but more people have died on the 14 freeway right next to the flats . should we ban that too?? Unfortunately rock climbing , atving and dirtbiking are a dangerous sport but that’s the risk you take doing it . I’ve grown up doing all that there and if it’s your time to go then it’s your time

Oh no!
Oh no!
Was d there earlier today. Really slippery on those two big climbs. I couldn’t figure out why 25 yards before the big climb there was a fire extinguisher and trail ggear on the side of the road. Two bikers came up and said they heard a jeep rolled down the mountain. We stumbled 50 yards downhill to look because we didn’t know how recent. From where we were at that point 2_300 yards down the mountain laid a greenish pile of metal. That was very said and I hoped that who ever it was got flung out of the vehicle early. My guess he went up the climb and got stuck and maybe turned sidways. The gear was at a place where he was already rolling of the climb.
It wasnt until all 4 of us aired down to 6 and 8 psi that we were able to make it up. I don’t think k speed was to blame here just very difficult road when wet.
Really sad day.
That road is fun
But poor people I feel bad
Yes, it’s so tragic that so many are left paralyzed or die from these off road accidents. Praying for healing and for the families.
The risk is part of why we love off roading. Just like skiing, snowboarding, and any other extreme sport. Any jeeper knows the risk and would rather go doing what they love than getting hit by a drunk driver on the 405.
They dont need to close this place because people die there. People die on the freeway everyday..should we close those too? Off roading is fun but not for just anyone..you have to know what your doing. Just because you have a truck or jeep doesn’t mean you need to go hauling ass on a dirt road. Its called be smart and you will be safe. Accidents happen but you don’t have to take the fun away from everyone!

Eddy O’Reilly again really?
Crazy, I know. I hope they update this so we know of the cause.
