A 71-year-old mountain biker is in hospital with serious injuries after falling while riding trails in Castlegar.
R-C-M-P say the man was riding the mountain bike trails in the Merry Creek recreational area yesterday when he reportedly fell off a log bridge and became unconscious.
A search and rescue team was called in, but given the remote location and the terrain of the area, the man had to be airlifted in a medical basket to an awaiting ambulance that took him to the hospital.
The full extent of his injuries remains unknown as he continues getting treatment.
