<div style="margin: 0in;" class="">Lindy was working on a prescribed fire at the Richland Furnace State Forest in Jackson County. She was a member of the Ohio Wildland Fire Crew. We do not know the precise details of exactly what happened, but I do know that
she was returning to base and the UTV she was riding in made an abrupt turn that threw her from the vehicle and then rolled on top of her pinning her head under the vehicle. She received a “devastating” brain injury and slowly slipped into brain death as her
brain swelled and herniated onto the brain stem. The driver of the vehicle was not injured. The accident happened around 17:00 Tuesday and she was declared brain dead Thursday afternoon. Kate, Dirk, Kees (her partner) and I were all with her during the last
48 hours and we feel confident that despite being in a coma, she was aware of our presence. Her body was given for organ donation and know that almost all of her vital organs were recovered and have given life to numerous other people. We are learning more
about this as time progresses. This is everything that we know as we await the outcome of the investigation.</div>
