Man paralyzed in May SR-59 crash near Hurricane seeks witnesses

Jared Fredrickson, 33, is asking for witnesses to a May 1 crash on State Route 59 near Hurricane that left him a partial quadriplegic, KSL reported. According to the Utah Highway Patrol, an unidentified black sedan attempted an improper pass at high speed, and the driver left the scene. One driver involved in the crash died. ^[1]

Fredrickson was riding his motorcycle in an annual sobriety ride when three vehicles and his motorcycle were involved, KSL reported. He said he swerved to avoid the collision and had only a ditch on the far right as another option. He said he has severe spinal cord injuries and describes himself as a C4 partial quadriplegic. ^[1]

Six months later, Fredrickson and the Highway Patrol still have no leads on the driver, KSL reported. He said he hopes a passing motorist has dash camera or GoPro footage or saw the sedan leave. He said he attends therapy several times a week and that his family faces financial strain, and a GoFundMe has been set up for medical bills. ^[1]
