-Ingleside, NC
-Feast Fest Scouting Department Head Jim Dall and Jan and Suzy Jenkins, head of Feast Fest's Official Culinary Provider, L.A. Wild, are safe after all three were involved in a pickup truck crash at the Jenkins' private Carolinas farm.
The Jenkinses, who reside in Los Angeles but are in the middle of a monthlong visit to a family farm in their native North Carolina. Head Scouter Jim Dall, who is a "great friend" to the Jenkinses, was being put up in their farmhouse in the middle of an East Coast recruiting swing to end the FF offseason, in which Dall visits Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
The Jenkinses gave Dall a tour of their farm Wednesday, with Jan driving a 1960s pickup truck over the 98-acre tract of land. Jan lost control of the pickup and drove it into a chicken coop before crashing it into the side of a barn. Dall and Suzy were unhurt; Jan sought medical attention but was also found uninjured.
The crash ripped a gaping hole through the back end of one of two barns at the farm in Ingleside, N.C., about 35 miles northeast of Raleigh.
Dall tweeted after the incident, which occurred about 5 p.m. Eastern Wednesday, "drove into barn and clucker coop at NC farm, scary!"
Dall said over the phone to Feast Fest execs that he was "feeling completely fine, just a smudge rattled" after the collision upon arriving in Stroudsburg, Penn. late Wednesday.
The Jenkins also reported to Feast Fest that they were "shaken, but sound" afterward. The Jenkins plan to return to Los Angeles to begin Feast Fest preparation in collaboration with L.A. Wild "at the beginning of November."
"Great privilege hosting Jimmy Dall of Feast Fest at our farm for a couple days, and hope that crash didn't sour him on us!" Suzy Jenkins wrote in an email to Feast Fest execs that was carbon-copied to Dall.
