Mountain biker dies near Jacumba after helping hikers who had no water, food in scorching heat [Breaking]
A mountain biker died Saturday in the heat of the San Diego County desert after he and three other riders spent hours helping four hikers who had no food or water, a Cal Fire captain said Sunday.
The ordeal began around 2:45 p.m. Saturday when the mountain bikers called for help after encountering the hikers in the Carrizo Gorge area near DeAnza Springs, according to Cal Fire Capt. Brent Pascua, who said it was 106 degrees when firefighters arrived in the area.Two of the mountain bikers stayed with the hikers, while the other two rode about five miles to the trailhead to rendezvous with emergency personnel and provide the other group’s coordinates, Pascua said.
After the helicopter rescue, the two mountain bikers who’d stayed with the hikers began riding back to the trailhead, but they became separated along the way, Pascua said. Only one of them made it back.
