A teenager involved in a car accident with Lauren Boebert’s son accused the Colorado representative of trying to cover up the severe injuries he sustained.

Noble D’Amato, 19, was riding in the front seat of a vehicle with Tyler Boebert, 18, in September 2022 when the car flipped, leaving Mr. D’Amato with “multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand,” according to Westword.

“I still have problems with my hand,” Mr. D’Amato told the Colorado outlet. “My thumb almost got cut off. It prevented me from getting a welding job because I couldn’t hold a TIG torch. I’m a personal-care provider now.”

Mr. D’Amato said Mr. Boebert was sober but “driving so f***ing fast” when the accident occurred.

Investigators indicated Mr. Boebert “failed to negotiate a left-hand curve in the roadway” and veered off to the right side before flipping into a creekbed.

Mr. D’Amato said he remembers “waking up with blood pouring out of my hand.”

“I had put my hands up to protect myself and got messed up badly by the window or something. I was just glad to be alive.”

Mr. D’Amato alleges that Ms. Boebert tried to cover up his injuries.

“She’s never liked me,” Mr. D’Amato said. “But that doesn’t give them the right to try and hide the fact that I was injured. They don’t give a f***. It’s the entire family.”

Mr. D’Amato recognized that the crash was an accident but wanted the family to acknowledge it.

“I know he didn’t mean to do it. It was an accident. But the fact that they’re downplaying it like this is something else. Superficial injuries? I got multiple concussions. My thumb was almost cut off. I couldn’t hold a torch. It prevented me from getting a welding job. So, yeah, harm was done,” Mr. D’Amato told Westword.

Ms. Boebert’s office told The Independent that the incident “involved two minors” and “the injury reported was superficial at best and was addressed by medical professionals out of caution.”

Mr D’Amato told Westword he was 19 then, meaning he was an adult rather than a minor.

After the crash, Mr. D’Amato said he was issued an unlawful possession of a schedule IV controlled substance and a drug paraphernalia charge.

Mr. Boebert was issued a “careless driving causing bodily injury” ticket that was later dropped down to a “defective vehicle for headlights” ticket after a plea deal.
