Looks like this needs to be investigated. If she really did cover this up, you can almost guarantee it will be half-assed.
Noble D'Amato, a 19-year-old friend of Rep. Lauren Boebert's son Tyler, has accused the Republican congresswoman of covering up details of a vehicle crash that left him injured.
D'Amato told Denver news site Westword that he was riding shotgun with Boebert's son on September 17 when Tyler flipped the SUV he was driving. D'Amato suffered "multiple concussions and a severely lacerated hand."
"I still have problems with my hand," D'Amato said. "My thumb almost got cut off. It prevented me from getting a welding job, because I can't hold a TIG torch anymore. I'm a personal-care provider now."
...
Boebert's son was issued a careless driving ticket, which was later reduced to "defective vehicle for headlights." Tyler was ordered to attend an "Alive at 25" driver's awareness program.
In an April 4 statement, Boebert's office downplayed the incident. D'Amato called the statement "bulls--t."
"She's never liked me," he remarked. "But that doesn't give them the right to try and hide the fact that I was injured. They just don't give a f--k. It's the entire family."

This is actually a much more serious accusation against the Palin ... errr Boebert family, IMHO.

"Boebert's son was issued a careless driving ticket, which was later reduced to "defective vehicle for headlights." Tyler was ordered to attend an "Alive at 25" driver's awareness program."
Same thing happened to me in 1973. Some people with guns arrested me and my fiance for felony possession of marijuana.
The judge reduced that to "Watching Star Trek while naked".
Yeah sure.
