A young boy was airlifted out of Abbotsford yesterday afternoon following a serious bike crash in the woods on Sumas Mountain.

The crash happened just before 3 p.m., June 11, in a wooded area near Applewood Drive and Westview Boulevard.

The boy appeared to have suffered serious injuries as he looked unconscious and was intubated by paramedics, according to a freelance videographer who attended the scene of the airlift.

A woman, who appeared to be the boy’s mother, accompanied him on the airlift.
