The base says search and rescue technicians tried to extricate him during the evening, but could not do so because of the dark.
A base official says the rescuers stayed with the man and provided medical care until more technicians, a plane and a helicopter arrived at about 7:30 a.m. Friday.
There is no immediate word on the man’s condition.
