Snowmobile accident near June Lake

On Friday March 5, the Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue (SAR) Team responded to aid an injured snowmobiler.  Glenn Taylor of Mammoth Lakes suffered severe injuries while snowmobile riding with friends east of US 395 near the south June Lake junction.  His snowmobile became air-borne when he hit an unseen depression in the snow on a snow covered portion of the Pumice Mine Road that is not plowed in the winter.

His friends were able to call for help, and Mono County Paramedics, the June Lake Fire Department and the Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue Team responded to the location.  He was stabilized at the scene and then transported by a snowmobile rescue toboggan to a waiting ambulance.  Paramedics transported him to Lee Vining airport where a Care Flight helicopter flew him to Renown Medical Center in Reno. –Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue Press Release
