Cyclists rescued on Coldwater Mtn.

 Two cyclists who were injured on Coldwater Mountain at the same spot on different days this weekend were rescued by Anniston firefighters.  The first victim was injured late Saturday morning, and taken from the scene by a medical helicopter. The second victim was injured Sunday afternoon, and taken away by Anniston EMS. Both accidents occurred at the same spot on Coldwater’s mountain biking trails.  The portion cyclists were injured on is believed to be new, and that it may not technically be open to riders.

To reach the victims in the mountain woods, Anniston firefighters drove small all-terrain vehicles equipped with rescue gear. Working with other cyclists, rescue crews located the victims and took them to a safe space to be taken from the scene.
