What Happened to Trevor

October 27, 2024

Trevor Higgins, 17, a senior at Hurricane High School and passionate dirt bike rider, was heading home after a ride at Purple Hills with friends. As they rode through Hurricane, a car crossed over to make a U-turn directly in front of Trevor. Despite braking hard, he collided head-on with the vehicle.

Critical Injuries

Trevor was transported to St. George Regional Hospital with critical injuries. His recovery requires multiple surgeries and extensive medical procedures, with costs far exceeding what the family can cover alone.

Community Response

Trevor's friends — including Rylee Altena, who was riding right behind him — immediately rallied the community. A GoFundMe was set up by Heather Jones, and the #Rev4Trev movement was born.

A Friend's Words

"We just want people to look out for riders. That's why we're doing all this — to raise money and just raise awareness."

— Rylee Altena, Trevor's close friend

Trevor's Progress

October 2024 — The Accident

Trevor was critically injured and placed in the ICU in a coma at St. George Regional Hospital, later transferred to Salt Lake City for specialized care.

Late 2024 — He Woke Up

Trevor woke from his coma and began showing signs of awareness. The community continued rallying — including sixth graders from Washington Fields Intermediate School who raised over $1,600 for the family during the holidays.

January 2025 — Coming Home

Trevor was moved back to the Hurricane area from Salt Lake City in mid-January. His father Phil said: "I almost think he's doing better at home than he was at the hospital. He's putting on weight and he's starting to give you a 'Yes,' and a 'No.'"

February 2025 — Memory & Recognition

Trevor can nod his head, recognizes his family, and can still read. His father described a moment where they wrote relatives' names on cards and Trevor looked at the correct person every time — "He remembers us… it's really encouraging."

February 27, 2025 — Benefit Concert

A Rev4Trev benefit concert at Hurricane High School — featuring dance groups Kalamity and Kaos — raised over $10,000. Several hundred people attended, and Trevor was there in his wheelchair. His mother Christtina said: "He's alive, and that's what matters."

"All the doctors, the professionals, they just say they don't know. They say, with the brain, it's unpredictable. Maybe he's done. Maybe he's not. But it seems like we keep seeing progress."

— Phil Higgins, Trevor's father

What is #Rev4Trev?

#Rev4Trev started as a hashtag and became a rallying cry for a community.

Trevor's friends are encouraging people everywhere to post videos of themselves revving their engines — cars, bikes, trucks — and tagging #Rev4Trev to spread awareness for rider safety and link to the GoFundMe.

Beyond social media, the movement includes selling shirts and stickers, organizing community rides down Main Street in Hurricane, and simply reminding everyone: watch out for bikes.
