A woman was rescued by a CHP helicopter Sunday after falling 100 feet during a hike on Mount Diablo,Officials said the San Ramon Valley fire dispatch received a call around 2:15 p.m. about the hiker, who fell near Devil’s Pulpit, a large rock formation on the east side of the East Bay mountain. The hiker was rescued from a “difficult to access location” by a team of first responders from CHP, the fire dispatch and California State Parks, as well as a REACH air ambulance.
CHP’s helicopter crew and a fire dispatch rescue technician located the hiker upon arriving at the mountain, CHP said. The CHP helicopter lowered the fire technician to the woman, who was then put into a rescue harness. The helicopter lifted the hiker and the technician from the area as they waited for a REACH helicopter, which is an air ambulance helicopter.
A video posted by CHP’s Golden Gate Division Air Operations shows the woman on the ground and subsequently being rescued by the technician. The woman was transported to John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek by an air ambulance with major injuries, CHP said. The agency said the woman is being treated by the John Muir Trauma Team.
