NORTH BEND, Ore. — A Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew medevac a 26-year-old man Saturday morning off the fishing vessel McKenzie Rose 100 miles west of Coos Bay.

The fishing vessel’s captain used a marine radio to hail watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend at approximately 5:30 a.m. to report a member of the crew sustained a head injury and was in need of medical attention.

The McKenzie Rose began to transit toward shore to more quickly rendezvous with the Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew. A constant communication schedule was established between the Sector and the fishing vessel.

The Dolphin helicopter aircrew hoisted the injured fisherman shortly after noon and transported him, in medical evacuation, to the Coast Guard airbase where his care was transferred to emergency medical services personnel.
