Public Safety says it happened around 10:30 p.m. as the woman was riding a bike along East Sycamore Street.

The brakes failed, the bike hit a median and the woman went over the hillside.

First responders rescued her a short time later using a backboard to lifter her off the hill.

She has multiple injuries.
