Photos: Mountain Biker Airlifted Out of Carlsbad to Scripps La Jolla

"Copter 2" Responds With Carlsbad Fire to Downed Cyclist

was called to the area of Rancho Santa Fe and Camino Junipero Monday to assist a downed mountain biker. 

Carlsbad Fire determined that it would take too long to make access and extricate the victim given the extent of his injuries and location. San Diego Fire's "Copter 2" was called in.

Emergency radio traffic reported "Copter 2" was able to lower a medic and hoist the patient to the helicopter. The cyclist was taken to Scripps La Jolla.

This is my favorite mountain biking location. One of the most advanced trails is called Nascar. I would venture a guess that the biker was riding on that trail when they crashed. Sad to hear that someone was hurt up there, hope to see them back on their bike soon.

How did they cause a backup, exactly? I'm asking because I saw them, and am wondering how theyRead More backed it up. If it's because people were slowing to read the signs, you can't really get mad at them for that.

And if you use an IPAD early in the day as I do, the problem is that there is so much on each pageRead More that it is hard to scroll with your finger(s) because there is just so much clutter that you keep losing your story to an annoying ad.
