Man rescued from Mount Adams in NH

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire fish and game officials say a 43-year-old man who injured his knee has been rescued from Mount Adams.

Officials learned Friday evening that Jason Baker, of Chicago, had dislocated his knee on the south slope of the mountain and was unable to walk. Due to the remoteness of the area, it was decided that Baker and his companions would stay the night on the mountain.

On Saturday morning, state conservation officers hiked to Baker’s location. An Army National Guard Blackhawk helicopter airlifted Baker off the mountain and his two companions were safely escorted from the remote area to the summit of Mount Washington.

Officials say that Baker’s rescue was made much easier because the helicopter was available.
