Injured hiker lifted off South Sister A U.S. Forest
Service employee and his pack horse took an injured hiker to a landing zone
where he was air lifted off South Sister last Tuesday, July 23.
According to Deschutes County Sheriff's Office reports, a search and
rescue team responded to the climber's trail above Moraine Lake after
hikers called 911 on a cell phone to report the injured hiker.
Search and rescue personnel located and stabilized the injured man, 36-year-old
Todd Wheeler of Oregon City, and the Forest Service packer took the man
to a landing zone where Air Life picked him up.
Wheeler was taken to St. Charles where he was treated for a leg injury
and released. |
