BOISE, Idaho — A Montana motorcyclist who was missing for five days after crashing along an Idaho mountain highway survived by drinking creek water until he was found, authorities say.
Demoss had been riding his 2000 Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycle along Highway 12 with two other people. After the other travelers saw his motorcycle parked on the side of the highway, they stopped at the next turnout a few miles down the road to wait for him. “We were low on gas and our back tire was starting to show threads so we couldn’t go further back down the highway to where we came from to search further without getting in a wreck or broke down,” Phan wrote.
The Idaho County Sheriff’s Office was notified of the missing man on Aug. 12. It used drones and a helicopter to search by air while deputies looked on foot along a 99-mile stretch of road. They also checked road condition cameras and worked with Demoss’ cellphone company to see if his phone was connecting to any towers in the region. They made plans to have divers check deep sections of the river where it runs alongside the highway.
On the fifth day of the search, Common spotted him near a campground. Demoss was conscious but badly injured and had been drinking water from a creek to stay alive. Common used an emergency satellite communicator to send an SOS message, and first responders soon arrived to take Demoss by air ambulance to a hospital.“He’s ALIVE!!! We were so heartbroken this entire last week as we walked mile by mile until dark only to end the day on defeat,” Rickenbacher wrote.
