Ag Pilot Craig Evans Injured in New Mexico Accident; Fund Established to Help with Medical Expenses

Craig Evans, an ag pilot from Bastrop, La. was seriously injured in a New Mexico crash on Friday, June 15, 2018. He had been working in New Mexico when his aircraft went down in a mountainous area. Rescue efforts were hindered by the remote area and terrain. Evans is being treated at the University Medical Center in El Paso, Tex.

 

According to a family member, Evans has multiple injuries including a broken left femur, right acetabular fracture, broken nose, broken T2 vertebrae, broken sternum, multiple broken ribs, and a collapsed left lung. He has already undergone one surgery with another scheduled. A lengthy recovery is expected.

 

If you wish to help the Evans family with medical bills, donations can be made to Regina Evans for Craig Evans and mailed to:

 

Origin Bank

1101 ROC Lane

Ruston, LA 71270
