An hiker who injured her lower back on the Pali Notches Trail in Nuuanu was rescued this afternoon, the Honolulu Fire Department reported.
The 22-year-old woman was hiking with three other hikers when she became injured and couldn’t leave the trail on her own, HFD said. The department received a 911 call about the hiker at around 5:30 p.m. and arrived a few minutes later to establish command and secure a landing zone at the Nuuanu Pumping Station for its Air 1 helicopter.
Rescue personnel were inserted at the hiker’s location at around 6:10 p.m. and later flew her to the landing zone via Air 1. Care was then transferred to the Honolulu Emergency Medical Services just before 6:30 p.m.
The other hikers walked off the trail on their own.
