Bend, Ore. — Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue (SAR) volunteers responded to a reported mountain bike crash on a trail west of the City of Bend on Saturday, March 28, at 5:00 p.m.
SAR volunteers arrived quickly, hiked in to reach the patient, and provided first aid to a 46‑year‑old Bend woman who crashed while riding with a partner. The incident happened on the C.O.D. Trail off Century Drive. It contains some of the more technical mountain biking trails within the Phil’s Trail Area. The woman was assisted back to her vehicle and was privately transported to the hospital for further evaluation. She was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash, and her riding partner was able to call for help.
This incident serves as another reminder of the many hours SAR volunteers dedicate to our community and how quickly they respond when someone needs help.
