SUMMARY: 
On Sunday, June 10, 2018, at approximately 2:30 pm, Sheriff’s Air Rescue 306 received information a hiker, later identified as Craddock, fell and injured her leg. Sheriff’s 40K1 was dispatched to assist AR306 in locating Craddock. 40K1 flew to the area where the latitude/ longitude from Craddock’s cellphone placed her. The crew of 40K1 located Craddock seated on the Vivian Creek Trail at about 9200’ with a non-life threatening injury.

Craddock was then flown to waiting deputies and AMR personnel and then transported to a local hospital for treatment.
