For the second time this week, an injured hiker was rescued near Mount Baker

MOUNT BAKER – A Search and Rescue team from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island rescued a 28-year-old female hiker with a compound arm fracture on Wednesday at the Twin Sisters.

The crew received the call to rescue the hiker, and when they arrived on the scene, a Department of Homeland Security helicopter was also there searching for her.

After about a ten minute coordinated search, they were able to find the injured hiker and a companion.

The search and rescue crew hoisted her up and transported her to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
