BRENTWOOD—On Monday, June 3, the Los Angeles Fire Department disclosed that it rescued a mountain biker via helicopter. The incident was reported to the LAFD at 8:05 p.m. at Sullivan Fire Road.
One adult male mountain biker sustained an injury on a remote trail about halfway up Sullivan Fire Road, and west of the Westridge-Canyonback Wilderness Park.
