Rider injured on Tam McArthur Rim

Sisters medics and Deschutes County Search and Rescue units rescued a horseback rider who was thrown and injured at the Tam McArthur Rim trailhead on Sunday, September 15.

Sam Thurston, 58, was riding with friends when he was thrown. He was unable to walk or ride his horse, so a member of his party used a cell phone to report the accident.

Sisters medics suspected possible internal injuries and a fractured pelvis and requested transport via AirLife.

A helicopter arrived at about 3 p.m. and transported Thurston to St. Charles Medical Center for treatment.
