Coast Guard officers rescued an Oregon man who fell several hundred feet into a volcanic crater, officials said Tuesday.
An air crew descended about 600 feet into the crater with a rope team via helicopter. They said they could hear the man yelling for help from below. "The aircrew was hovering above the injured man within 15 minutes of arriving on scene and conducted the hoist before landing in a nearby parking lot and transferring the injured man to the AirLink helicopter crew," it added.
"A big THANK YOU to all who helped in this effort," the park wrote. Officials said the extent of the man's injuries and his condition were unknown as of late Tuesday. The man’s identity has not been released.
