BEND, Ore. -- A mountain biker from Wisconsin who was injured trying
to make a jump on a trail west of Bend Thursday evening was rescued by
officers and volunteers, authorities said.

Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies and Search and Rescue, as well as
Oregon State Police, were dispatched around 6:15 p.m. to the report of
an injured mountain biker on the Tiddlywinks trail, out of Wanoga Sno-
Park, said sheriff’s Deputy Rhett Hemphill.

They learned Perry Hertler, 40, of Milwaukie, had been riding his
mountain bike down the trail when he failed to negotiate a jump he’d
gone over and fell, causing serious injury, Hemphill said. A friend
riding with him was able to call 911 and give their location.

Two sheriff’s deputies, an OSP trooper and seven SAR members responded
by mountain bike, ATV and on foot, he said.

Hertler was located and treated on scene by SAR medics, then placed in
a wheeled “ambu-sled” and taken by ATV to the Wanoga Sno-Park, where
he was moved to a waiting AirLink helicopter.
