Rescue crews carried an injured hiker down Mount Kearsarge in New Hampshire on Sunday.
According to New Hampshire Fish and Game officials, conservation officers received a report of an injured hiker on Mount Kearsarge in Warner, New Hampshire at around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 8.
The hiker — Lee Lewis, 54, of Concord, New Hampshire — had summited the mountain and was hiking down the Barlow Trail when she suffered a lower-leg injury.
Lewis was hiking with her family at the time, and they called 911 when she was unable to continue.
Firefighters from the Hopkinton Fire Department and Warner Fire and Rescue Department responded and began carrying Lewis down the mountain in a litter.
Several conservation officers also responded to help carry Lewis the three-quarters of a mile back to the trailhead on Kearsarge Mountain Road.
Lewis was then transported to Concord Hospital by the Hopkinton Fire Department Ambulance.
