Officials said a 37-year-old male was biking in the area on Monday afternoon, when he fell and had suspected head and spinal injuries.

The man was hoisted into a helicopter from the B.C. Air Rescue team and flown to a suitable landing spot, just as the sun was going down, according to COSAR.

“When we were told of the location and nature of the subject’s injuries, the decision was made to launch the B.C. Air Rescue team right away,” COSAR president Ephraim Nowak said in a news release.

He was then transported by ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital in stable condition.

This is the third rescue in the Crawford area this month.
