BEND, Ore. -- A Portland man mountain biking on the “Whoops” trail
west of Bend was seriously injured Friday afternoon when he failed to
make a turn and left the trail. The crash threw him about 15 feet in
the air before he struck a tree, Deschutes County sheriff’s deputies
said.
Shortly after 2 p.m., 911 dispatchers got a report of the injured
mountain biker on the trail south of Skyliners Road, said sheriff’s
Deputy Mike Biondi, assistant search and rescue coordinator.
Sheriff’s deputies, personnel from the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue
unit and U.S. Forest Service personnel went to the scene.
Bernard Sanders, 33, of Portland, was assessed and stabilized at the
scene by SAR personnel and brought by ATV “ambu-sled” litter about a
mile to Skyliners Road. A waiting AirLink helicopter flew Sanders to
St. Charles Medical Center-Bend with serious injuries, Biondi said.
The rescue operation shut Skyliners Road for about 30 minutes, the
deputy said.
