Gary and his coworker are Uhal truck drivers (Gary does a bunch of other things but I don't remember exactly what his title is), and they were both driving to Missoula on a job. In Dillon, MT, A semi-truck ahead of him tipped and rolled. A car in front of Gary got around the accident. Gary tried to avoid the semi and correcting but he hit the semi, and his co-worker driving behind him, hit Gary. The truck driver who caused the crash died. Gary and his coworker were admitted to Dillon hospital then to the Missoula hospital for further treatment. He was placed in a medical induced coma and on life support. This happened on Monday 29th around 7pm and our family didnt find out till Tuesday Aug 30th around 2ish. They only found out because Gary's boss looked around the news papers and found a crash that sounded like it could be possibly his employees. Anyways I might not have everything here exactly but I wanted to make sure I didnt post any false information, this is as close as I could get it. Below are some pictures.
This is the picture of the Truck he was driving.
The inside, he was wrapped around the inside of the vehicle. There is still some blood you can see.
Gary's amazing Elders who stayed by his side as much as possible. Jen, I thank you so much for being my family's angel and having these two Elders stay by his side, and then you there making sure everything is ok! thank you!

They allowed him to sleep on his side.
This is a difficult picture to look at. Its not horrible, but you can barely tell the damage and its amazing how much the priesthood has helped in his healing and him surviving at all. I love him so dearly, he was like a father to me at times in my life, and I appreciate everything he has done for our family. Its good to know he is surrounded by the gospel and those who love him.
