Just after midnight on November 30, Mike Selvera (head chef), Carina Lampkin (sous chef) and Gracie Sholl (server), were sharing a cab home from work. Another car evidently ran a red light and broadsided the cab, which spun out, hitting a pole and another parked car.

Gracie Sholl suffered severe internal injuries and died in the hospital several hours later. Carina Lampkin remains in the Intensive Care Unit with a broken pelvis, broken ribs, and internal injuries. Mike Selvera underwent surgery to address a broken jaw, and also suffered several broken ribs, lacerations, and
lung bleeding. The driver of the taxi sustained minor injuries and has been released from the hospital.

Bar Crudo is a small restaurant with a small staff. This accident has been a blow to us both personally and professionally.

Many wonderful people have called and written with condolences and questions about how they can help.
