A rescue operation was carried out in the Calfkiller River over the weekend. A person was found with a fractured leg on the riverbank. The injury was severe, with a compound fracture to the leg.

Several volunteer fire departments and the Sparta Rescue Squad responded to the scene, located on South Fork Road. The terrain posed a challenge, with steep stairways and rock steps that rescuers had to navigate. The person was eventually transported to a regional trauma center by helicopter, with the aid of a low-angle rope system established by the rescue crews.

Further details of the incident are available from the Sparta Rescue Squad and local news sources.
