Crews Search For Inexperienced Dirt Biker Who Went Missing Near Vernon, B.C.

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 23 Apr, 2015 10:14 AM
    VERNON, B.C. — An intensive search is being executed for a 25-year-old dirt biker who went for a ride south of Vernon, B.C., two days ago and never returned.
     
    Kyle Macinnes is not an experienced rider and he was not wearing a helmet when he was last seen on his grey and white dirt bike at about 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
     
    A trio of search and rescue teams from Vernon, Kelowna and the Shuswap are now scouring an area outside Vernon by both ground and air.
     
    Pete Wise from Vernon Search and Rescue says the Commonage area is rugged territory and is asking anyone who isn't an experienced searcher to stay away.
     
    He says people can help by phoning RCMP if they spot Macinnes, who has an athletic build, short strawberry blonde hair, a goatee and tattoos on his left arm.
     
    He was last seen wearing a black and white tank top, khaki shorts, red skater shoes and white sunglasses.
