Prince George Search and Rescue helped BC Emergency Health Services with a call this weekend.
According to a Facebook post from Prince George Search and Rescue, a group of four was kayaking down the Crooked River yesterday (Saturday), when they encountered a log extending across from bank to bank.
While pulling the kayaks over the log, one of the paddlers reportedly slipped and suffered a severe laceration causing life-threatening bleeding.
After she was taken to shore, two party members chased down the boat with the cell phone, and called for help before making their way back to the injured subject.
According to the post, BC Emergency Health Services dispatched an ambulance to the area, but requested assistance from PG Search and Rescue after identifying they would be unable to get the subject to the road on their own.
PG Search and Rescue responded shortly after paramedics, and used saws to help clear a path to the road, where the subject was transferred to a waiting ambulance.
