Helicopter Crew Winches Injured Motorcyclist From Spanish Mountain Track

A firefighters’ helicopter crew winched an injured motorcyclist off a forest track in the mountains near Serra, in Spain’s Valencia province.

Footage released by the Valencia Provincial Fire Consortium, filmed from a rescuer’s helmet camera, shows the crew being lowered from the helicopter onto the red dirt track among pine trees, treating the rider and strapping him onto a stretcher before he is lifted up into the aircraft.

The specialist mountain rescue team GERA, with the MV6-R helicopter and a doctor on board, carried out the rescue with a sergeant, the fire service said. The injured man was flown to hospital. The fire service released the footage on Monday, October 26.
