The area where the woman was stranded was remote and steep, requiring a complicated and joint operation between RCMP, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Yukon Search and Rescue (YSAR) and a private helicopter.
RCMP is reporting that an injured hiker required a coordinated response from multiple emergency personnel over the weekend.
Dawson City RCMP were requested to assist in the rescue of an injured hiker from Sapper Hill at kilometre 194 of the Dempster Highway on Saturday, August 22, 2020. The area where the woman was stranded was remote and steep, requiring a complicated and joint operation between RCMP, Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Yukon Search and Rescue (YSAR) and a private helicopter.
An officer from Dawson City RCMP coordinated the rescue of the woman. At 7:47 p.m., a helicopter transported officers, a physician and Yukon Search and Rescue personnel to an area of Sapper Hill, and the group took about one hour to hike up to the injured woman. They assisted her back down to kilometre 194 of the Dempster Highway and arrangements were made for the group to be transported back to Dawson City by police vehicles, as ambulance attendance was hampered by the location.
The woman was transported to hospital for treatment of her injuries.
RCMP wish to thank EMS, Yukon Search and Rescue and Fireweed Helicopter for their assistance and swift response.
