A woman is recovering after falling 20 feet off the Torn Valley hiking trail in Rockland County Friday night.
The Spring Hill Community Ambulance Corps responded around 6 p.m., joined by police and fire crews.
They found the 40-year-old with a compound fracture and severe pain. Paramedics started an IV and gave her fentanyl for pain relief before pulling her up. She was then loaded onto a gurney, carried out of the woods in stable condition, and taken to Hackensack Hospital for treatment.
The Torne Trail winds through Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks.
