Jay Abbott, head coach of Bainbridge’s middle school mountain bike team, is in a coma after crashing during a team training ride on Sunday.

The longtime Bainbridge resident is also partially paralyzed, according to news reports.

Bainbridge Island Assistant Fire Chief Luke Carpenter said the accident occurred Jan. 25 during a bike ride in the Grand Forest.

Abbott fell off his bike and was hurt. He was taken to the fire department’s Station 21 on Madison Avenue and airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.

The details of how the accident happened weren’t immediately clear.

“We’re not 100 percent sure what caused it,” Carpenter said.

The Bainbridge Island Gear Grinders, founded in 2011, is a youth mountain bike racing club with both high school and middle school-aged teams that compete in race events around the region.
