CAL FIRE/Placer County Fire Department firefighters responded to a medical emergency this morning reported as a bicycle accident on the Connector Trail in the Auburn State Recreation Area in Placer County. The Connector Trail is heavily traveled and is a designed as single track for avid downhill bike enthusiasts. While enroute responders were updated that CPR was in progress.
Initial engine companies split the search and found patient care with CPR in progress on a 45 year old male victim. A UAS was deployed to find a closer extraction point. Placer Crew 1 was tasked with cutting a path to the intersection, where the victim would be transferred to a rope system for rapid extraction, saving over a mile of travel distance with CPR in progress.
Sadly the victim was pronounced at 11:17. At this point the incident transitioned to recovery, where members of the Technical Rescue Team set up a low angle system to extract the body to a waiting coroner. All members of the party involved were escorted back to a PCSO Chaplin and then assisted to their vehicles.
