Some of you may know local AZ VW enthusiast Jason Eckhardt AKA 15WINDOWS username. He frequented Jerome and the local shows. He had a Chandler fire pickup truck turn head on into him last week as Jason was driving through the intersection, which turned his 66 Ghia into an accordion. He sustained 2 broken Femurs, Shattered knee cap, and a shattered left Pelvis among other injuries. He will be in the hospital for months to come, unable to move his legs from a straight out position. His legs broke the seat off the seat rails, and his arms wrapped the steering wheel around the column.

His wife and children could use anyone's help trying to maintain finances while he is in recovery as well as the crazy hospital bills. If you would like to contribute, check out

Also there will be a local car wash to raise funds, bring out your VW for a wash and show your support -

Scary photos! I'm glad he survived that horrible accident! I hope he has hired a good lawyer that will make Chandler FD pay for all his expenses and other costs.
