Firefighters on Tuesday rescued a mountain biker who fell down a
ravine around the Arroyo Road area, officials said.
At 11:15 a.m., firefighters from Alameda County Fire Department's
Station 8 and Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department's Station 9 were
sent to the 5500 block of Arroyo Road, near the Del Valle Dam, for a
report of a man that fell down a ravine.
"The man was riding along a trail and unfortunately he ended up down a
25-foot ravine," said Captain Todd Rueppel, Engine 99 LPFD.
The biker suffered moderate injuries from the fall, Rueppel said.
When fire crews arrived on scene they had to hike up several hundred
yards to get to the injured man.
Firefighters, who placed the man in a basket, used ropes to securely
haul him out of the ravine, Rueppel said. The man was then flown by
helicopter to a hospital.
The area was cleared of the incident at 12:40 p.m.
