Vancouver man in ICU after fatal Vanderhoof motor vehicle incident

The family of a Vancouver man who was seriously injured in a Highway 16 motor vehicle incident in Vanderhoof earlier this month has launched a Go Fund Me.

According to page organizer Kateryna Tyrina, her husband Max and a close friend of his was struck by someone driving a Lincoln, claiming the life of his friend.

Max is now in the ICU at Vancouver General Hospital with severe brain trauma and multiple critical injuries.

He has undergone two major surgeries to reconstruct his pelvis and right shoulder with metal plates.

His wife stated Max worked as a skilled DevOps engineer for over 15 years and was the sole provider for their family, which includes a three-year-old daughter.

So far, just shy of $7800 has been raised with a fundraising goal of $10,000.
