PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – Paramedics in Saskatchewan had to use their mobile response unit (MRU) to rescue an injured hiker. Parkland ambulance paramedics were called to a wooded area near the old La Cole Falls dam site Tuesday just before 7:30 p.m.
A 21-year-old woman had called in saying she was injured.
Paramedics were unable to reach the woman due to the location and terrain. They were first taken to the woman on an ATV before the MRU was deployed.
The woman was stabilized before being taken to hospital in good and stable condition.
The MRU is a side-by-side utility vehicle (UTV) specifically designed for areas like trails and remote locations that are inaccessible by traditional means.
