Four people were hurt in 4 Caminos food truck accident
An explosion in a food truck headquartered in Vancouver has left four people with serious injuries, and a GoFundMe account has been set up for them.
The owner of the 4 Caminos food truck, her partner, an employee, and the owner’s son were all inside the truck when the explosion occurred on Sunday, Dec. 15. They were rushed to a hospital in Portland, where they are still receiving treatment for burn injuries.
Insurance will cover part of the medical costs, but there are many additional expenses.
The GoFundMe account is raising funds to help cover essentials such as groceries and uncovered medical expenses. The owner of the truck will also need time away from work to care for her son, who suffered the most serious injuries.
The owner of the truck “is a cherished and active member of our community, known for her incredible generosity,” according to the GoFundMe page set up by Diana Betancourt Macias. “As the owner of 4 Caminos, she has always gone above and beyond, never turning away anyone in need of a meal, even if they couldn’t pay. She constantly supports the community … spreading love wherever she goes.”

As of noon Friday, Dec. 20, the account had raised more than $9,000. The goal of this fundraiser is to hit $20,000.
