20driver, that may be. We don't have a lot of data yet. But the crash site was not at adjacent State Park but in a valley between mountain ridges. The Sheriff's deputies had set up a landing zone on the roadway. I'm not sure why a medevac helicopter was called since the hiking site is maybe 5-6 miles away from a major medical facility by way of a major highway, which should have not been congested on a Sunday afternoon. The hiker was in cardiac distress and evidently had the.means to afford helicopter transport. His distress was critical since he later perished at the hospital.
My town has a good small-town medical center, but we are 30 minutes by highway to a large world-class facility, and it's not uncommon to fly trauma victims there.
