4/16/2016 – Injured Hiker

SAR Staff, Hasty Team, SVU, and WCSAR responded to the Micheal Thompson Trailhead on the report of a subject that had fallen and injured their wrist. REMSA medics were first on scene, which was at the upper part of the trail, and stabilized the subject. Two SAR foot teams made contact with the group as they were walking down the trail, VERY slowly. It was taking an abnormally long time to get down to staging, so a SVU side x side was sent in as far as ATV’s can get – about 1/3 of a mile, to meet the patient and expedite the process. The subject and one medic were transported to a waiting ambulance.
