C.R. UPDATE: Johnson was wearing helmet when accident occured inbounds
According to reports from his sponsors, C.R. Johnson is currently in University of Utah Hospital with severe head trauma. C.R. was filming in at Brighton when the accident happened. He had jumped a cliff and was collecting some lost gear when Kye Petersen launched the same air and collided with him, sources say. According to people close to the scene, as of Friday December 9, C.R. was in intensive care and sedated to aid his recovery.
The accident did not happen in the backcountry, as originially reported, but inbounds at Brighton.
"I think it's important that people know C R was wearing a hemet when this happened," says Evan Raps, who witnessed the accident. "We all decided to wear them full time this year. Unfortunately the impact was below the helmet brow. People should know this was an accident and a freak thing."
