"The incident began just west of the Caldecott Tunnel. It is unclear what precipitated the events that followed but now, the life of Rich Fletcher has been changed forever and the driver who allegedly rammed him faces three felony charges, including hit and run and attempted murder.

"He said he was doing about 60 miles an hour and was hit way harder than the speed he was traveling," said Rich's daughter Alex Fletcher."

...

"The car that hit Fletcher at a high rate of speed drove away but the California Highway Patrol later caught up with it and shot the suspect.

The 47-year-old Fletcher now lays in a hospital bed in critical condition. His spine is severed and he's likely paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life."

...

"The suspected driver of the car that hit Fletcher is 32-year-old David Alcairo. He was shot by a CHP officer at Wilder Road in Orinda.

A Concord resident, Alcairo apparently pulled off the highway with a flat tire. The car had clear signs of damage in the front."

Ninja 666, do you know Rich personally or his family? Is there anything we as a community can do for his situation other than donations? If so please let us know barf is amazing when it comes to things like this and showing support.

messed up situation all around. Hoping for the best possible recovery for Rich.

And, there's an earlier thread on this crash in general.

I do not know him at all.. I just saw this on the news and thought that if nobody had posted here maybe I'd spread the word and post their website so people can help out. Someone I know knows his family i just found out. So I'll ask her if there's anything else we can do. It's just a shitty shitty story.
