Officials rescued a Boulder High student after he sustained a head
injury while mountain biking on the Link Trail Tuesday, according to a
release.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office received the call at 6:18 p.m.
Tuesday. According to the release, a 16-year-old male and his 15-year-
old friend -- both students at Boulder High -- rode their bikes from
Boulder up to Link Trail, located between Boulder Canyon Drive and the
Betasso Preserve near 37800 Boulder Canyon Drive.
While on their way back down the trail, the victim attempted to jump
over a tree stump, but his front wheel hit a rock when he landed and
he fell over his handle bars. He was wearing a helmet, but was briefly
knocked unconscious.
A passing mountain biker came across the accident and continued down
the trail until he got cell service and called 911. Officials with the
Boulder County Sheriff's Office, the Fourmile Fire Department, Rocky
Mountain Rescue Group and AMR responded.
Rescuers reached the victim at 6:37 and were able to get him back down
the trail and onto an ambulance by 7:18 p.m.
The victim was taken to Boulder Community Hospital. Officials did not
release his current condition.
