On Aug. 31 just before noon, Gallatin County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue responded to a report of an offroad vehicle rollover along Buck Ridge Trail south of Big Sky. The driver of the offroad vehicle received initial first aid from bystanders until search and rescue arrived on scene. The patient was then transported on a side-by-side to the trailhead and transferred to a Big Sky Fire Department ambulance for medical care.
Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer reminds ATV riders to wear proper safety gear such as a helmet, and to know the trail and their limitations. He also commended “the bystanders for their swift actions, which ensured that Search and Rescue teams were able to locate, stabilize and package the patient quickly.”
