6/14/2016 – Injured Mountain Biker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, RAVEN, SVU, and WCSAR assisted NLTFPD in locating and rescuing a mountain biker who had crashed off of the Flume Trail in the Tunnel Creek area. He had an open leg wound, and was approximately 50′ down from the trail in a particularly steep section. While fire crews started walking into the location, SAR assets were sent to both the Tunnel Creek entrance at the old Ponderosa, as well as being staged at Marlette Lake. RAVEN was also dispatched and located the subject approximately 1/4 – 1/2 mile from Marlette Lake. RAVEN performed a hoist of the subject and flew him to a landing zone that was set up at the Village Green in Incline Village. An ambulance then transported him to Reno.
