The incident occurred at 3:20 p.m. near the Cleghorn Trail in Cajon Pass, California. A motorcyclist fell nearly 100 feet down a hillside as a result of a vehicle crash. The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District promptly responded to the scene. Due to high winds and the presence of nearby power lines, a helicopter-hoist rescue was not feasible.
The rescue operation required the coordination of Urban Search and Rescue personnel, along with the deployment of three fire engines and two all-terrain response vehicles (ARVs). To safely retrieve the injured motorcyclist, a rope rescue system was established, allowing responders to lift the individual back to the road. The operation highlighted the challenges posed by difficult terrain and adverse conditions, emphasizing the need for specialized rescue techniques and equipment.
