Tait was competing at the New Hampshire Grass Drags and Watercrossing competition in Fremont, N.H.  when the accident occurred.

Tait is believed to have suffered a severed spine, but he has yet to undergo surgery due to complications from other injuries.

Several fundraisers are being planned to help pay for Tait’s care. A Facebook group and a Web site have been created that contain some fundraising details and Tait’s address at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
