A helicopter crew and several U.S. Forest Service personnel rescued a woman Saturday who had crashed her mountain bike near Lake Desolation north of Big Cottonwood Canyon.
Unified police Detective Chuck Malm said an AirMed helicopter landed just after 1 p.m., and personnel had to move the 37-year-old woman to the landing spot. The call for help came in just after noon.
The woman had been riding with friends when she crashed for an unknown reason. The friends found her with a broken helmet and possibly a concussion, Malm said. He was unsure about the extent of her injuries, though she was in fair condition at the hospital later in the afternoon.
