Motorcyclist Crashed, Discharged Firearm to Alert Others, Transported to Hospital
A motorcyclist was airlifted by Mercy Flights to a Medford-area trauma hospital Sunday at 6:08 p.m. after a crash in the area of Peavine Road near Rich Gulch.
Due to the rider's poor cell phone connection with Grants Pass 911, an initial response was delayed. This reportedly prompted the rider to discharge a firearm to summon the attention of others in the party.
Rescue crews from Rural Metro Fire and AMR arrived and extracted and transported the injured rider from a ravine to a landing zone at Morrison's Rogue River Lodge.
