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. |
