On Saturday, Sept. 24, Fernie Search and Rescue (SAR) was called out to assist an injured biker on Eric’s Trip trail located adjacent to the Mt. Fernie Provincial Park.

The biker, a 46-year-old woman, sustained hip fractures when she landed awkwardly after riding over a man-made structure (jump).

The Fernie SAR team reported on its Facebook page that members accessed the injured woman from the lower reaches of the trail, stabilized her on a clam shell and a wheeled stretcher. Ropes and manpower were used to bring her down to the waiting BC Ambulance team.

The Fernie SAR team wished her a speedy recovery.

Thanks to everyone involved for a job well done.
