A hiker in Utah broke her leg while hiking and had to be rescued by a team of rescuers who carried her through waist-deep freezing water. The incident occurred in a remote area near Lake Blanche in the Wasatch Mountains. The hiker, who has not been identified, was walking with a group of friends when she fell and fractured her leg. Unable to walk, the group called for help and a rescue team was dispatched to the area.
The rescuers had to navigate difficult terrain to reach the injured hiker, and once they arrived, they had to carry her through waist-deep freezing water to reach safety. Despite the challenging conditions, the rescuers managed to get the hiker to a waiting ambulance, which transported her to a nearby hospital for treatment.
The incident serves as a reminder of the risks of hiking in remote areas and the importance of being prepared for emergencies. It also highlights the bravery and dedication of the rescuers who put themselves at risk to help those in need.
