YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – A GoFundMe has been created for a Yuma man who was injured in a motorcycle crash last week.
The crash happened at around 7:05 p.m. Friday in the area of E. 32nd Street and S. Fortuna Avenue, near Bici Park.
20-year-old Chauncy Negrete was riding a black Honda CBR600RR westbound on 32nd Street when he crashed into a silver Nissan Sentra, driven by a 46-year-old man.
According to the Yuma Police Department (YPD), the Nissan was making a lane change when the Honda crashed into it.
YPD says Negrete was taken to Onvida Health, but was later flown to a Phoenix area hospital in critical condition.
According to the organizer of the GoFundMe, Negrete had undergone multiple surgeries, with his mother sharing to the GoFundMe that his arm had to be amputated.
The GoFundMe has been created to help ease the financial burden for Negrete so he can focus on healing and ” being present for his young son and family.”
The GoFundMe has a goal of $5,000, with only $3,880 raised so far. If anyone would like to donate to the GoFundMe, click here.
