A man was flown to a hospital Friday afternoon after he was found unconscious and injured in the Boulder County mountains.
About 12:40 p.m., the Boulder County Communications Center received a call from someone who said they had found a man unconscious and injured near the Beaver Reservoir, which sits west of Colorado 72 and northwest of Ward, according to Carrie Haverfield, a Boulder County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. The caller said they thought the man’s injuries could have been caused by an animal encounter, Haverfield said.
A medical helicopter was taking the man to a hospital to receive “advanced medical care,” Haverfield said.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife was not yet on scene as of 1:48 p.m. to confirm whether an animal was involved.
