This is tragic. It has nothing to do with how easy the trails are or what has changed about Evans Creek. It has to do with poor choices that all piled up to create a tragic accident. Please do not start blaming anyone other than the driver of that vehicle for this accident. It was not caused by the location, the rig, the environment, the width restrictions, the road, the animals, the passenger's decisions, the time of day, the weather, or anything other than the decisions and actions of the driver of the vehicle.
I went wheeling yesterday and on the way in 3 deer jumped across the snow covered road in front of me. I slowed but made the choice that I would eat deer meat last night if they didn't move. I was offered beer on the trail and declined because I knew I was driving home after wheeling. On the way out I was very surprised that 4 Elk crossed the road in front of me on a snowy road again. I slowed again and made the decision that I would eat Elk for dinner if they didn't move. My decisions kept me from going down a path to tragedy, or maybe I just got lucky.
Either way in this accident there is no one or nothing to blame for this other than the driver of that vehicle.
