Volunteers Rescue Woman

Fourteen volunteers from Teton County Search and Rescue were called out Sunday at shortly after noon to help a woman who’d fallen from her horse in the Pacific Creek area, very near to the site of a similar rescue a week earlier.  Rescuers responded with two ground teams and a wheeled litter, as the woman was unable to ride or walk on her own. According to a statement by the organization, the teams reached the patient just before 2:00 pm. They assessed her condition, packaged her up and placed her in the wheeled litter for transport to a waiting ambulance which transported her to St. John’s Health. Altogether, the operation took a little over 5½ hours.
