Montrose Search and Rescue and Altadena Search and Rescue teams responded earlier today to a call of a mountain biker who was separated from his bike then careened over the side of the road in the Angeles National Forest. The man’s brother was able to toss a paracord, a thin strong nylon cord, to the victim. The victim, who was hanging upside down, tied it onto his leg and his brother held onto him until help arrived.
LASD Air Rescue 5 also responded and the man was hoisted to safety.
