GREAT CACAPON, W.Va. (DC News Now) — The Maryland State Police (MSP) has confirmed that it mobilized its Aviation Command Tuesday evening in order to rescue a 19-year-old woman whose car plunged off a cliff in West Virginia.
MSP said that the woman rolled down a 70-foot embankment above the Cacapon River, near the Maryland-West Virginia border in Morgan County. Troopers said that the woman was trapped in her vehicle when crews arrived at around 7:30 p.m.
Crews then got her out of the vehicle and treated her for her injuries before being transported down the river by raft to a point where she could be hoisted out by helicopter, where she was then airlifted to a trauma center in Baltimore.
