The victim was seriously injured after suffering a fall on the mountain path
A cyclist was seriously injured when he fell on a mountain path near the Camino de los Puros, in the Regional Park of El Valle and Sierra de Carrascoy, in the municipality of Murcia. The 112 received, at 12.05, a call informing of the accident of this cyclist, who has needed to be evacuated by air.
Local Police patrols, firefighters from the Murcia City Council Fire Fighting and Rescue Service, environmental agents and a Mobile Emergency Unit (UME) with health workers from the Health Emergencies and Emergency Management 061 had to go to the scene of the event. After arriving at the site where the injured man was, the firefighters indicated the impossibility of evacuating him by land, so the helicopter of the General Directorate of Citizen Security and Emergencies came with the Air Rescue Group of the Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium of the Murcia region. After being stabilized and immobilized, the patient (a 43-year-old male) was evacuated by air and transferred to the ‘Virgen de la Arrixaca’ hospital in Murcia.
