December 22, 2020 - A Tucson-based
UH-60 Air and Marine Operations aircrew along with the
Border Patrol Search Trauma and Rescue agents rescued two
illegal entrants in the Baboquivari Wilderness Peak (BWP)
area.
The female had fallen off of a
10-foot cliff and suffered numerous abrasions including
bleeding from her head. The aircrew located the two
individuals, but due to the terrain, inserted an EMT and an
agent via hoist. Once the woman had been evaluated and
stabilized, the crew conducted a 95-foot hoist to extract
both individuals, the EMT, and the agent.
The UH-60 crew landed near the
highway and turned the individuals over to the Border Patrol
for transportation to the local hospital.
