Injured Hiker 1/4 mile from Montecito Hot Springs. Copter 4 responding along with SR
Another irresponsible one !
Yes, that is, indeed, another irresponsible comment.
Is there any information on exactly where this was? What was the nature of the problem? A fall? Dehydration? Any identifiable cause?
I gave the location and the medics didn’t know a lot while she was unconscious.
Have to assume the report that she was actually unconscious because why the f- would a helicopter have to come in for a rescue otherwise? We’ve seen more and more of these the last few years. Does anyone ever remember a HELICOPTER rescue off our local trails back in the day? I don’t.
