SAR Staff, Hasty Team, and SVU began responding to Pyramid Lake on the report of a boat in distress.

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Winnemucca Ranch Rd. to locate an injured dirt bike rider. Four subjects were on a trip from Truckee to Gerlach when one of the riders crashed. They set off a spot device and requested help. Initial SAR teams at the scene discovered that he had possibly broken some bones, but he initially stated that he could probably endure a ride out in a vehicle. When some advanced SAR medics arrived at the location, it was determined that the best plan would be to request Careflight. A landing zone was marked, Careflight arrived at the scene, and the patient was flown to a Reno hospital. The subject’s dirt bike was transported back to staging by a WCSAR truck.
