An injured mountain biker was airlifted off the mountain Monday after suffering serious injuries in a fall inside Claremont Wilderness Park.
The incident was reported to Claremont Police about 6:45 p.m. The cyclist, a 65-year-old man from Ontario, was found by a hiker on the Burbank Trail, said Claremont Police Lt. Shelly Vander Veen.
“He had suffered abrasions to his body and a laceration on his face,” Vander Veen said. The injuries were serious enough for authorities to take him by helicopter to USC Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Wilderness Park is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists and does have some steep and rugged terrain.
