I don’t have the details of how it happened but Vic was driving his Toon on Parker today and he crashed into some rocks on the AZ side, and then crashed head on into the sea wall. Marlee was taken to Havasu and last I heard Vic was airlifted to Vegas.

Please keep them in your prayers tonight.

There’s a post on rover whips stating he hit the rocks on the AZ side then veered over to river land. [emoji17]

I saw a picture of it and it did not look good. Let’s hope they come out of this ok.

Is this possible to see updates without FB? I don’t know how to navigate it as a guest.

From what I’m hearing he had a heart attack and fell over. He’s a good friend. I really hope he pulls through.

To be honest, it ran through my mind. He’s been boating in Parker long enough to not hit rocks. Sucks as it appears he’s been doing great lately, maybe too great and working too much.

Hope he is all right.
Knowing how long he has been boating Parker, when I heard the news my thought was something mechanical or health related caused it.

Thoughts with his family!

I just heard from a mutual friend. Sounds like he hit a wake, hit his head on the bars maybe for the Bimini?? They saw him holding his head in the boat, then he fell over and pushed the throttle forward and made a hard turn forward the shore. [emoji51]. Crazy turn of events. This is from another boat that witnessed the accident.

I like Vic, he's a good guy and we had a great time in Newport Beach a few years ago. It looks like everyone is going to be OK which is awesome.

Got be honest when I first read this I went to his facebook and saw his girlfriend and thought to myself that mofo must have OD'd on Viagara, stroked out and hit a wall. ;):D

I kid, I hope Vic and Marlee are well.

He seems to be doing well. Just talked to Tyro and he’s going to head over and see him in a few. Vic is thinking it was a steering failure

Hello all,

I just left Goodyear from seeing Vic and wanted to give an update. He’s busted up pretty, he’s got 10 broken ribs and a lot of stitches. He’s in a ton of pain but over all his vitals are stable and he’s up in bed and off o2. Marlee last he talked to her was going into surgery for a pretty bad broken leg. She has a few cuts and some stitches as well but she’s going to be ok as well. His parents are with him and Marlee’s parents are with her.

I know there was a lot of things flying around as to what caused the accident, what injuries the both had etc. All the stuff that was reported early on was all speculation.

He said he doesn’t remember much but he’s certain something let go in the drive or steering. He said there was literally nothing he could have done. He tried to bring it back but there was nothing there. They were along for the ride at that point.

He wants to thank everyone for the texts, calls, well wishes. He’s probably going to be there till at least Monday. He might have to have surgery to repair a few of the ribs that are broken in multiple places.

Hope all of you are doing well. Figured it go see him and make sure he’s ok for everyone.

Have a good one and merry Christmas

First...boy is it good to see you in here Tyro. Miss you.
Adding Vic and his gal to the prayer list. Maybe it is just me but I am struggling to remember a Thanksgiving that has resulted in so many tragedies in the dunes and injuries on the roads and waterways. Just in our RDP family this has been a tough one. You people out there playing please be careful.

Just here for the day. I asked to have my account opened so I could update everyone on Vic and Marlee’s status.

Damn 10 broken ribs he must be in serious pain. Going to be a few months to heal. I never talked to Vic but see him out all the time on the strip and no rookie when it comes to Parker so figured something went wrong. Hope he heals up quick and see him back out on the water soon.

Glad to hear things are not as bad as they could be... Busted ribs hurt so bad.. Laughing and coughing.. I don't envy Vic at all.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for both!!

I'm sure im in the minority here, but I don't feel bad for him.

He just came from the bar (2 different people told me he was hammered). My kids ( and many others) play in the water exactly where he crashed his boat. 10 broken ribs would be the least of his problems had he hit one of my kids.

A guy with his experience is able to navigate through a rogue wake, I'm not buying it. This was avoidable. He might be a "cool" guy that is fun to drink with, but how "cool" would it have been if he killed one of your family members?

My wife and I were some of the first on scene. Not a good feeling to turn a corner and realize you know the boat and people involved.

I'm happy to hear that Both Vic and Marlee will make a full recovery. It looked really bad :(

My hat goes off to the Riverland residents that wen't above and beyond handling the scene and it was amazing how fast the first responders made it to the accident.

I had 10 fractured and broke ribs once...It took over a year to heal.

Too bad there was strife between Vic and RD, I miss him here.
Likewise with Tyro and RD.

Too many great personalities from the past are gone.

I honestly don't have any strife with anybody.. I see Vic around and say high, shake his hand etc.. Hell I even let him tie up to my boat at Fox's a few weeks back at the Wozencraft deal. LOL

On the Tyro thing.. No idea, but again at some point ya just gotta say enough's enough and move on with life, which is what I did.

Yeah I can see that . Only broke 4 when I landed on a boulder crashing my RZR. Could not sleep in my bed for 3 months was about 10 months for pain to be gone. First month was brutal. Sneezing was the worst.
