A State Police helicopter had to be brought in Sunday to help rescue a
bicyclist from a mountain trail in Moreau. A rescue effort in Saratoga
County on Sunday after a biker was injured while riding a trail.

It began around 1:30, when two bicyclists were riding in the Town of
Moreau in Moreau State Park when one of them fell off their bike and
broke an ankle.

They called 911 and paramedics arrived, tackling tough terrain to get
to the injured person.

That terrain forced them to call in a State Police helicopter to bring
the biker off the mountain and to the hospital.
