SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah County Sherrif’s office says an 18-year-old girl fell hiking Mount Timpanogos this morning. For several minutes she was unconscious.
As of 11:00 a.m. today the 18-year-old is responsive and talking says Sgt. Spencer Cannon with UCSO.
Ground search and rescue teams are on the scene and a medical helicopter was called.
“Those things can turn so quickly and even end up with tragic outcomes,” Sgt. Spencer Cannon said.
@UCSO_SAR spent several hours this morning helping an 18 year old woman off Mt. Timp after she fainted, hit her head, and was knocked unconscious. @Intermountain LifeFlight assisted and the woman was treated and released. This was SAR call #7 (now 8 total calls) from Fri-Mon.
