Accident at Aliso today?

[FizzyCola]

Was fartin’ around at Alta Laguna park today (Top of the World) with the family and saw a fire engine, and three other fire personnel vehicles head down Westridge fire road to the Mathis/Car Wreck area. Was hard to tell exactly from so far away. Also on the scene were two helos that both eventually left the scene after hovering and circling the area for about 10 minutes. Anyone else there today with more info?

That's pretty standard fare at Aliso. Car Wreck has its share of injured or incapacitated hikers and bikers, as do the other trails. The standard operating procedure these days seems to be helo recon and frequently helo extraction. I see helos there almost every time I ride. Once a little closer up than I wanted.

That said - I hope the hiker/rider wasn't injured too badly.

Yup my last called in rescue, helo got overhead quick waited for ground troops to arrive / assess then off.

Hope the rider / hiker doing ok.
