MD. STATE POLICE HELICOPTER CREW RESCUES INJURED MOUNTAIN BIKER

Maryland State Police are being credited with helping rescue an injured mountain biker in Garrett County.  A helicopter crew responded to a trail at New Germany State Park on Wednesday afternoon, hoisting the 56-year-old biker from the trail using a rescue platform.  He was then flown to Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown for treatment.  The aerial rescue was necessary because of the accident’s remote location.
