LYTLE CREEK, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> One person was airlifted out of a gorge (a narrow steep-walled canyon) late Sunday afternoon on Meyers Canyon Road dirt road after a side-by-side all-terrain vehicle rolled over about 30 to 40 feet down, ejecting one of the occupants in the process.
Emergency crews were dispatched to the crash at about 4:49pm on Sunday April 20, 2025. San Bernardino County Fire and the California Highway Patrol received calls to 911 reporting the accident.
San Bernardino County Fire Units made contact with the patients at the site of the crash, where they confirmed the adult male occupant was ejected and required immediate medical treatment, information released by San Bernardino County Fire states.
Due to the challenging terrain and the patient’s condition, air rescue was requested to extract the patient. San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Aviation Team responded in Air Medic 306 helicopter and conducted a longline rescue.
The crews then worked to treat and prepare the patient for hoist to the hovering helicopter, which transported the patient to Loma Linda University Medical Center.
The three other occupants of the four-seat Polaris RZR all-terrain vehicle, all adults, were uninjured.
The crash is under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.
The extent of injuries remained unknown as of Monday afternoon.
