One person was airlifted to hospital as a precaution after crashing her dirt bike on a narrow dirt access road along the Seine River diversion north of Landmark Tuesday afternoon.

The individual, a female in her late teens from Ile des Chenes, was discovered conscious and wearing a helmet by two children passing by on an ATV, but couldn’t remember the circumstances of the crash, said Lorette district fire chief Rene Gougeon.

A rut may have caused her to lose control of the red dirt bike as she commuted home from work, Gougeon said.
