It just so happened that the National Park Service and Washington County Sheriff’s Office were participating in a swift water rescue training exercise at the time. They left their training near the Temple of Sinawava area and"repositioned to attempt a rescue," according to a press release from park officials. The team was then able to pull the woman out of the river near Birch Creek.
She was unconscious and did not have a pulse; first responders from the park service and Hurricane Valley Fire District administered CPR, and she regained a pulse. The woman, a 25-year-old from Canada, was taken via ambulance to a helicopter landing zone and then airlifted to the hospital. Her condition is not known at this time.
