Search for hit and run driver at Dumont dunes
Vegashottie76 replied to raspadoo's topic in Dumont Regulations, Safety & BLM
As the year mark approaches I find it pretty sad and quite disgusting that no one owned up to running over my neice! As long time duners (30+years) I understand accidents happen, I understood the driver and or passenger may not have been aware that he plowed over a little girl. I get it BUT... this story has surfaced everywhere. It was an early morning run over a finger... The person responsible knows it was him! It wasn't like it was smack in the middle of the day and they had already gone on several runs ya know! It sickens me that the coward hasn't stepped forward and owned up to this! -
I was at the ranger station trying to get info on my niece that was flown out that morning when I heard/saw the guy I'm assuming you're talking about. If it's him; he did not make it. He passed before flight for life landed.

3 year old hit by buggy Halloween weekend
Vegashottie76 commented on Dumont Dune Riders's article in Dumont News
Thanks for this post. I'm the Aunt of Regan the 3yr old hit by the sandrail Saturday morning. First off I want to start with she survived this traumatic hit and run. She spent a day in PICU; needed surgery to repair her face that was literally split in half from her hair line to the middle of her nose. She also had several lacerations on her hand and another gash on her head as well as some internal bruising across her chest. She's been downgraded as of this morning. Now I want to get the word out.... we have been duning here at Dumont for 10yrs. We have always camped at the bottom of the1st finger and have cones and caution tape up. We usually don't allow the kids on the finger due to this exact fear... but this particular morning my brother in law brought his 3yr old twins up on the finger to play supervised at around 9am. Regan descended down the finger to dig in the sand; she was about 6 ft from the top where her dad and twin brother where when the sandrail came across the top of the finger then goosed it to the right around the Dad and twin brother eventually running over Regan. We believe she was hit dead on then tumbled under the sandrail which is when I looked up because I heard the screams from Regans Dad and then witnessed Regan being literally spit out of the back of the sandrail. We all went running and yelling towards her and the sandrail but the sandrail kept on going. The sandrail has still not been located. This event was so fast and traumatic no one can say exactly what the rail looked like or the exact flag! We do know it was a blue and white sandrail had a spoiler with a black flag w red writing. This is all we could put together as a description. There was also a passenger in the rail. Please if you have any leads please contact the sheriffs station or BLM rangers. We don't even know if the driver knows that they ran over a little girl or if it was a true hit and run. Stay safe and hope we can get some answers and/or justice and some peace. Thanks! -
Only fair for the kiddos out there to trick or treat in the actual celebrated day... fri the 31st. :-)

Hi I was the RN that was on scene. Glad you and your daughter are okay. It was all a little chaotic and I want to thank you for being understanding. Having to work on anyone or anything on a slope to that degree is very challenging. Bottom line you and your family are home. So thankful for that! Positive energy always. See you around.
