MOUNTAIN BIKING INCIDENT

Mountain biker injured in Batchelor Hills area

Jul 19, 2020 | 2:02 PM

KAMLOOPS — Emergency crews were called to the Batchelor Hills trail area this morning (July 19), for an injured mountain biker.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Platoon Captain Darryl Cooper says just after 10 a.m, crews were called to the Sidewinder loop trail in the Batchelor area for a report of a mountain biker down.

“We were warned on route that there was CPR in progress. Crews were in liaison with BC Ambulance, arrived on scene, and that’s all we know at this time.”

There was another man biking with the patient who was on scene when emergency crews arrived, and Cooper says to his knowledge, only one of the two bikers was injured.

The status of this individual or the extent of their injuries has not been confirmed at this time.
