"jalopnik" declare : This Jeep Cherokee Fell Victim To The Infamous Donner Pass And Now I Want To Cry

collected by :John Max

Photo credit: CHP-Truckee/FacebookThe Donner pass through the Sierra Nevada mountain range is not for the weak. AdvertisementBut like the Donner party, this group of sentient Cherokees was trapped by over 20 feet of snow. AdvertisementThe Donner pass got its name from two brothers who led an ill-fated group of emigrants from Springfield, Illinois to California in the mid 19th century. It's also apparently not for the strong, as even the indefatigable Jeep four-liter engine couldn't save this Cherokee from being consumed by old-man winter. I say "ill-fated," because that naive group may or may not have resorted to cannibalism after getting trapped by deep snow.
