A hiker fell late Saturday afternoon at Keown Falls overlook near Lafayette, Georgia and broke her leg, according to a release from a Walker County spokesman.
The unidentified 30-year-old woman was 0.8 miles into her hike when she fell.
Emergency crews were called at 5:30 p.m. The hiker told responders she was in pain and couldn’t walk, according to the release, so they immobilized the leg, placed her on a backboard and carried her to safety.
She was taken by ambulance to an area hospital.
