CLIFTON -- First responders and state forest rangers rescued a man who injured his back while hiking the Cranberry 50 trail.
DEC says on Oct. 3 at 4:21 p.m., St. Lawrence 911 transferred a call to DEC’s Ray Brook Dispatch reporting that a hiker on the Cranberry 50 had injured his back and could not walk due to the pain.
Members of the Cranberry Lake and Star Lake fire departments, along with state forest rangers, responded to the call.
Once on scene, the 62-year-old hiker from Wilton, Conn., "was packaged into a litter, put in the boat, and driven back to shore. Once on shore, the injured hiker was turned over to the Star Lake Ambulance for transport to a local hospital," DEC said.
