Two people were injured by falling ice at New York’s Kaaterskill Falls on Saturday.
According to New York Department of Environmental Conservation officials, forest rangers received a report shortly before 4 p.m. of a person who had been struck in the head by falling ice at the bottom of Kaaterskill Falls. Ten rangers responded to the call.
Soon after, rangers were alerted to a second victim injured by the same chunk of ice. They reached both subjects at 4:17 p.m.
Rangers secured the first subject, a 29-year-old from Brooklyn, in a litter and wheeled her back to Laurel House Road, where they were met by a Hunter ambulance.
Rangers received assistance from Greene County Paramedics, Greene County Sheriff’s Office, Tannersville Rescue, and Twin Cloves Rescue.
The second subject was able to walk out on their own. Resources were clear at 7:30 p.m.
