"One of our officers was the first to the scene and it appeared he had pretty serious neck injuries," Leonard said.
Craig Fire and Rescue and the ambulance then arrived at the scene.
The man was airlifted at about 11:15 a.m. to St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, according to The Memorial Hospital Public Relations Director Pam Thompson.
