They were called out Monday morning to rescue a hiker who had broken her leg while out on a hike with her family.According to the Sheriff's office, at 10:30 a.m. Monday they were dispatched to the Deuel Creek South Trailhead. That's where they say a 38-year-old woman was out hiking when she lost her balance and fell.
They say she was conscious and breathing but in a lot of pain.Crews determined that the best course of action would be to take the woman out of the trail on a litter. A litter is similar to a stretcher but specifically made for traversing obstacles and tough terrain. Davis County Search and Rescue add that the trail has multiple sections that required extra rope support to transport someone with the litter.
