DRAPER — A woman in her mid-20s suffered serious head injuries after crashing her mountain bike in Draper Tuesday evening.

Emergency crews responded to the call and initially called a helicopter to get the mountain biker off the trail, near Suncrest, a popular hiking and mountain biking destination, said Draper Fire Chief Clint Smith.

However, with the help of bystanders, firefighters were able to get to the woman and took her to a hospital in Lehi where she was later transferred by helicopter to a trauma center.
