Helicopters don’t fly for patients undergoing CPR. So sorry for this individual.

Only some will fly during cpr but some do fly with patients with cpr in progress. Fingers crossed they are okay.

Life flights do fly to CPR in progress. We got a recovery during an hour long CPR. If life flights didn’t respond to CPR, that would be abandonment of a patient.
They will return and not land if ALS on the ground declares the CPR patient deceased.

It doesn’t sound too hopeful that the Coroner was messaged!!! It usually means it’s too late for the Helo!!!

Unfortunately the motorcycle rider did not survive. Telegraph Ridge & Briceland volunteer fire fighters, as well as CAL fire and Southern Humboldt Technical Rescue, responded. CPR was performed, but they were not able to save the rider.
His name and details will be released after the next of kin are notified.
Many thanks to the local volunteers for their efforts to save this man, and then staying with him
until they recovered his body.
It is always a sad situation when someone loses their life in a tragic accident.

No such things as “accidents.” The driver’s fault or mechanical failure (poor maintenance or manufacturer error). You can avoid wildlife by not speeding and paying attention.

He also could have been ran off the road by some grow dozer…have you ever driven the back roads of Humboldt? They use up the whole road and speed erratically…and act like you’re some sort of asshole cause your only doing 60 on briceland road…

The way SOME folks ride on that road, it could be called suicide. I am not condemming all riders, but anyone who drives that road, knows EXACTLY what I mean.
RIP rider. Condolences to loved ones.

Country was what he liked to be called. He was a good hearted guy. And a good friend. Tragic. Seems like he was just starting to enjoy his life. He will be missed.
