DCSO Search and Rescue comes to assist of injured cross-country skier
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – A half-dozen Deschutes County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue volunteers on snowshoes and a deputy came to the assistance of an injured cross-country skier west of Bend on Sunday.
County 911 dispatchers got a call around 11:30 a.m. regarding an injured skier between Swampy Lakes and Virginia Meissner sno-parks, said sheriff’s Deputy Kyle Joye, assistant SAR coordinator.
A deputy called the reporting party, who said the 31-year-old Redmond woman would need help getting to the Swampy Lakes parking lot, Joye said.
Six Search and Rescue volunteers and a Special Services deputy responded to the call. The volunteers reached the woman around 12:30 p.m.
Members of the medical team assessed the woman’s condition and provided aid, then placed her in a litter and carried her to the highway, Joye said. She was helped into a personal vehicle, telling SAR she would seek her own medical care.
Just get me to my car. Thanks for the lift.
Another one who can’t read. It wasn’t HER car, but it also wasn’t a several grand ambulance ride to St Charles.
They’ll be receiving giant bill, yes?
No, thankfully
Glad they were able to help her. Nice job SAR!
