Story is she rolled off Cadillac and caught fire with burns to 90% of her body.  May have lost a leg as well.

Sad to hear. Talked to some people today who were leaving the Rubicon at the same time. They claim the people in the Jeep with her were all drinking and coming down Cadillac from the camp grounds with no seat belts to meet someone at the bottom. Jeep rolled and an unsecured gas can came out, doused her and thats where the burns came from. Said the fire created also started a forest fire that blocked a lot of Jeeps on the trail along with rising water on the other side due to something unrelated. I hope this is all just rumors because it would be a serious black eye in the fight to keep the Rubicon open.

Damn, that is horrible news! Off-Roading is a serious sport! You have to stay focused even if you are just taking a quick ride to to meet someone!
