Man airlifted to hospital after being seriously injured in ATV crash in Pueblo County
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) – A 35-year-old man was airlifted to the hospital Tuesday afternoon after sustaining serious injuries in an ATV crash in a remote area of Pueblo County, the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) said.
According to PCSO, emergency responders from multiple agencies – including the PCSO Emergency Services Division, Pueblo West Fire, AMR, UCHealth’s flight team, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Pueblo City Fire – joined forces on June 10 to locate and rescue the injured man.
The sheriff's office said the accident happened just south of the Pueblo Motorsports Park – and due to the remote location of the crash, they say it took rescuers some time to reach the victim.
Once they reached him, PCSO said rescuers were able to transport the injured man to a waiting helicopter, which took him to a nearby hospital.
Authorities say the man, who was not identified, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. At this time, the agency has not provided any information on what led to the crash.
