Injured paraglider rescued
A Riverside County sheriff’s helicopter rescued an injured paraglider from remote area north of San Jacinto Saturday.
The fall was reported at about 7:53 p.m. Saturday in the 260 block of
Soboba Road, said Jennifer Fuhrman of the Riverside County Fire Department.
“One patient was hoisted from scene to the Soboba Flight Park by a Riverside County Sheriff’s Helicopter,” Fuhrman said. “One patient was then transported with minor injuries to a local area hospital via ground ambulance.”
The rescue was completed at about 10:40 p.m.
The helicopter rescue was required “due to the difficult terrain and patient being inaccessible by off road vehicle,” she said.
