    GoFundMe organized for man hurt in motorcycle crash

    Stuart SudakBy Stuart SudakMarch 22, 2022Updated:March 22, 20221 Min Read

    A GoFundMe account has been set up for a motorcyclist who sustained life-threatening injuries in a crash on Highway 169 in Eden Prairie at about 6 p.m. Sunday, March 20.

    Jared “Wes” Farwell

    Jared Wesley Farwell, 29, of Shakopee, lost control of his 2018 Indian Scout motorcycle while riding south on Highway 169 near Anderson Lakes Parkway and crashed into a ditch.

    Farwell’s older brother, Andrew, organized the GoFundMe account. He described his brother, who goes by “Wes,” as a U.S. Marine, husband, and loving father to his daughter. 

    Andrew wrote that his brother’s severe injuries from the accident include a fractured sternum, severed spine, air around his right lung, and extreme damage to his right hand. 

    As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 22, the fundraiser has raised $4,260 toward its $15,000 goal. That money will help Farwell and his family pay for his medical bills.

    A Minnesota State Patrol incident report stated that Farwell was traveling at high speed when he crashed. Alcohol, according to the report, was involved, and Farwell was not wearing a helmet.
