Anyone know anything about the Rhino/Ranger/Razor whatever, that happened in Havasu on the North side of town yesterday morning? I heard from a co-worker that it was a hit and run and the UTV burst into flames.

Over heard the sheriffs talking about it, It sounded like a tweeker stole it and then rolled it and it completely burned

that sucks. They only make a few different keys for those. If you have one, you can find one that it will work on.

I'm pretty sure you have your story wrong. I heard a older couple in the UTV got hit by another car and rolled the UTV on it's side then it caught fire. The car that hit them left the scene.

I was wondering what all that black smoke was. I was out on the island running the loop with a friend and saw it. Thought a house had caught on fire.

It was a friend of mine, he was hit by a jeep or something coming back from the muclouch store where he filled some gas cans, when he was hit it turned him over and gas spilled out all over, a broken arm and something else dislocated, was air evacuated to Vegas with 20% of his body 3rd degree burns.
SO thanks Killer for your "KNOWING" input on the subject...
Lets jump to conclusions on something else.
He will be having skin grafts and rehab for quite a while.
Yes the Ranger was burned to nothing but the frame left.
I will be getting more information tommarow when I talk to his
WIFE, I wish Him a speedy recovery and only hope that he will return to his Family, as the man that is giving and loving of his child, as when he left his house that day on a short jaunt to the store.

Wildbill, I wish him a very speedy recovery. That is just terrible what happened. As I am a UTV owner also. Please keep us updated. What's the story with the guy that left the scene. Any other descriptions besides just being a jeep?

Miguel, Dude a simple " wow I guess I misunderstood, I hope your buddy is ok" would have really been enough here. I understand that people jump your shit alot on here, but do you have to kick everybody in the nuts?:( Just my opinion

Correct me if I'm wrong wildbill but I don't think the car that hit your friend ran from the scene. I was there after it happened and it looked to be a black newer cherokee with missouri plates. I was stunned at what was left of his utv. I'm glad he made it out. Give him our best for a speedy recovery!

Well I just amazes me the amount of chatter that goes on here and most of the time, it is not the truth or so blown out of proportion.
Yes I did not say anything about the kid that hit him, if it were not for him it would have been much worse, since he was the one that first pulled him out and probably saved his life.
Thanks Miguel, I will relax, and thank you for your HEART felt remorse, I seem to forget sometimes that this is DRAMA boat and if its not drama its not true.
This is one of the reasons I do not have 25k post on a board that I have been on for many many years.
Guess Ill just sit back and read more about this ON "hot boat" as the drama unfolds.
So we will just let this one go and I hope nothing like this ever happens to anyone else...

oh god
you are amazing....
the world is a great big place and try to remember one thing, there is more to life then power rings.
The world, yes this world does not revolve around one person.
It takes a lot of people to make everything work, and your right I think I will get back to what I do best.
But as I know........... so you will also..
So I will continue to look at this thread and read .......
As far as stirring goes, Ill leave that to you
Have a great day Miguel.....

Here's the article from e-press on this story. Not only did the person who hit the Ranger NOT take-off it sounds like he risked his own life to save the man in the burning Ranger.
ATV Accident Severely Burns
Man In Lake Havasu
LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - A collision in the 3000 block of McCulloch on Sunday morning caused serious injuries to one man. He was driving an ATV, a Polaris Ranger, on the street (legal in Lake Havasu City.) On board was a gas can with about 5 gallons of fuel. The ATV collided with another vehicle and the Ranger flipped on itsside spilling gas and causing it to burst into flames. Police say the driver was trapped and unable to release the seat belt and free himself from the ATV. Witnesses stated the driver of the second vehicle involved in the incident “risked his own life” to free the trapped victim and move him away from the burning vehicle. The Polaris Ranger was totally destroyed in the accident with a loss estimated at over $11,000. The 16-year old driver of the second vehicle was not injured in the accident. The Lake Havasu Police Department is investigating the accident. The driver of the Polaris Ranger was flown to University Medical Center by Native Air medical helicopter. Authorities say he suffered second and third degree burns to approximately 50% of his body.

I will retract my original post, as it was in response to the initial, but somewhat incorrect, info. A) WB I hope your bud is OK. B) I hope the kid who pulled him out is OK. C) I hope whoever was at fault in the T/C gets a ticket. :)
