TUCKAHOE- Upper Township EMS and Atlanticare Paramedics came to the aid of another bicyclist seriously injured after going down on Tuckahoe-Mt Pleasant Rd.
On Tuesday May 6 around 8 p.m., Upper Twp EMS and Atlanticare Paramedics responded to the intersection of New York Ave & Tuckahoe-Mt Pleasant Rd for a report of a bicyclist down in the roadway.
According to a group of 6-8 bicyclists riding alongside, the victim went down after getting caught in the rail road tracks.
Upper Twp EMS arrived to find the cyclist down and had sustained a head injury with a short period of unconsciousness prior to their arrival. It was also reported that the victim was combative.
Medic 8, still en-route to the scene, requested a Medevac helicopter to fly. Shortly after Upper Township EMS and Medic 8 departed the scene for the helicopter landing zone, they recalled the helicopter reporting they were transporting the victim by ground to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center.
According to Sgt. Nocon of the Woodbine station, troopers did not responded to the accident because they were not notified.
Similar to this accident exactly one week ago, a group of bicyclists riding on Tuckahoe-Mount Pleasant Road crashed after encountering “several significant pot holes” near the southbound shoulder, according to a State Police Press Release.
That accident also sent a rider to Atlanticare Regional Medical Center, City Trauma Division, with a head injury.
