A man riding his ATV back to his campsite near Beaver Lake Saturday evening suffered serious head injuries after the unit flipped, throwing the rider. He was found by two dirt bikers who called 9-1-1.

Central Okanagan Search and Rescue (COSAR) was called out to assist the B.C. Emergency Health Services, for the rescue along the High Rim Trail between Lake Country and Oyama.

COSAR members arrived on scene as BC ambulance crews where loading the male into the ambulance.
