Last night (Oct. 1), Columbia Valley Search and Rescue (CVSAR) was requested by the RCMP to assist a solo hiker who had sustained injuries after a trip and fall. The hiker was unable to walk out on their own and required help navigating the trail in the dark. A team from CVSAR responded and provided assistance, safely escorting the individual to higher medical care.
