Search and Rescue off to a busy summer season
The TCSAR team responded to 2 callouts Wednesday
JACKSON HOLE, Wyo. — More visitors with less experience is going to make for a hopping season at Teton County Search and Rescue. The TCSAR team was called out on two separate accidents yesterday, June 2.
Just before noon on Wednesday, Search and Rescue was called out to assist a woman who’d fallen from a horse near the Hoback River. Volunteers hit the trail with electric mountain bikes, the RZR side-by-side, and a ground team. The trail was too narrow for the RZR, so e-bikes reached the patient first, where volunteers were able to provide medical assistance and transport her via the wheeled litter to a waiting ambulance.
In the second incident, the team was called around 4pm to help a woman who had sustained a serious leg injury while hiking in Darby Canyon. As TCSAR approached, the woman was carried out of the backcountry by companions and other concerned citizens. She was then transported to professional medical care.
