A mountain biker was seriously injured after falling while riding a bike in the Santa Monica Mountains, between Pacific Palisades and Encino on Saturday, and required an airlift from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The 23-year-old biker was reported injured just before 11:30 a.m. along Sullivan Fire Road, which runs along the eastern edge of Topanga State Park, according to an LAFD warning.
According to the officials, the cyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the fall and was in serious condition after injuries to his head, arm and shoulder.
A LAFD rescue helicopter landed nearby and was assisted by ground crew to medically stabilize the man, officials said. The biker was then transported by plane to a regional trauma center.
Further information was not immediately available.
