Page dedicated to helping my recovery

New Plymouth, Taranaki

On Friday the 9th of may my brother was rear ended by a truck and trailer. Chase was fully stopped in traffic waiting for a crash to be cleared so they could pass through when he was rear ended by a truck and trailer which wrote off his custom hilux, his absolute pride and joy.

Chase broke his back in 2 places, had 15 staples in his head and a concussion. Surgery such a head injury chase had to stop working and unsure when he will return.

Chase lost everything, damaged tools, son’s bike got snapped in half. Chase’s tools were all over the road and damaged, he also lost a 8k tool box on the back of the Ute and his dogs crate.

While insurance has covered the value of his Ute Chase have lost tools, his lively hood, his belonging that were in the Ute and much more.

We appreciate all help that will be donated

It will all be used to get my nephew an another bike, dog crate, tools and help either his mortgage since he is off work.

Recovery update   26 June 2025

Thought I would give a little update on Chase’s recovery, he is still recovery from the fractures in his back and ribs. Still dealing with a concussion and vertigo, having dizzy spells and still unable to do some things. Concussion lady comes and works with him weekly and help the crystals in his ears. He is still unable to work and still in limbo with Fulton hogan court case. We appreciate everyone’s donations they mean a lot and they will all go towards what he has lost and can’t be recovered by insurance. Thankyou to all.
