The 17-year-old girl who suffered a severe head injury when she fell off her bicycle riding down Chinguacousy ski hill is in a medically-induced coma in a Toronto trauma centre, according to a family friend.

Rachael Baker is in serious but stable condition, with her parents Carolyn and Jon by her hospital bedside, according to Sandra Zdolec, who has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for her friends.

“There is a long road to recovery ahead of Rachael and her family, and I hope our donations help take the financial burden off their minds, at least for a while,” Zdolec wrote on the GoFundMe page.

With a $20,000 goal, the campaign has raised $4,690 in 18 hours.
