A Brooklyn woman was rescued Saturday after falling from a rock face at Sterling Forest, a state parks spokesman said on Sunday.
At around 12:40 p.m. Saturday, police from New York State Parks and the Town of Tuxedo, park rangers, and members of the Greenwood Lake Fire Department responded to a call and found the injured 38-year-old hiker, who had fallen about 30-40 feet from a rock face off a trail on Wild Cat Mountain, according to Public Information Officer Dan Keefe of the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
The victim was conscious and complained of pain in her back, ribs, and ankle, and responders helped transport her to a helicopter that took her to Westchester Medical Center, Keefe said.
