A mountain biker was injured while riding at Batawa Ski Hill on Thursday evening.
The Quinte West Fire Department was called in to help Hastings-Quinte Paramedics, around 7:00 p.m., after the biker crashed while riding on one of the trails at the top of the hill.
Firefighters used two of the department’s side-by-side UTVs to bring paramedics up the hill and get the patient down safely to a waiting ambulance.
Fire Chief John Whelan says the man was taken straight to Belleville General Hospital to be treated for broken bones, but the severity of his injuries isn’t known.
