RAPID CITY, S.D. – Member of the Rapid City Fire Department aided in rescuing an injured hiker who had fallen off a trail on “M” Hill Tuesday evening.
Fire officials say an off duty lieutenant was hiking on the trails early Tuesday evening when he came across the hiker who had tumbled off the trail on the north side of the hill.
Crew members used a UTV vehicle to get part way of the hill, but when they got as far as they could with the vehicle, rescue crews had to hike in the rest of the way to get to the injured individual.
The hiker was taken to the hospital with what authorities say were non-life threatening injuries.
