Mountain biker crashes near Shafer Butte
BOISE -- A helicopter crew from Air St. Luke's worked with rescuers from the Ada County Paramedics and Boise Fire Dept. to rescue an injured mountain biker on Sunday near Shafer Butte.
Ada County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Andrea Dearden reports the man suffered serious injuries in a crash around 1 p.m. near the 'Hard Guy' trail. The trail is east of the Bogus Basin recreation area near the Boise Ridge Road.
Dearden says the man's riding partner was able to call 911 and guide rescuers to the general location of the crash.
While rescuers searched for the man on the ground, a helicopter crew from Air St. Luke's was eventually able to locate the cyclist from the air. The helicopter crew was then able to land in the area and rescue him.
Dearden says the man was lying in water and reportedly unable to move.
He was taken an area hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
