A hiker who became lost and felt faint and nauseous from overheating was rescued in New Hampshire on Tuesday.
According to New Hampshire Fish and Game officials, conservation officers received a report at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15 of a hiker who was lost on Fall Mountain in North Walpole, New Hampshire.
The hiker, Rebeka Arias, 33, of Bellows Falls, Vermont, reported she was feeling faint and nauseous.
Units from the Walpole Police Department, North Walpole Fire Department, Golden Cross Ambulance Service, along with three conservation officers responded to try to locate and assist the hiker.
After a two hour search, a conservation officer using an ATV located Arias while checking trails.
Conservation officers then assisted her down off the mountain to an awaiting North Walpole Fire Department UTV, which transported her to the awaiting ambulance. Arias was taken to Springfield Hospital in Vermont by Cross Ambulance Service with heat-related injuries.
Officials said Arias was attempting to navigate to a popular overlook when she became disoriented and lost her way. She made one last call to a family member asking for help before her phone battery had died.
