A teenager with a leg injury was rescued Friday night after a fall at a cement monument in Kaysville, according to a report published October 24.
The incident occurred around 8 p.m. when a group of teenagers attempted to access Kay’s Cross, a remaining cement monument located in Kay’s Hollow on the north edge of the city.
One of the teenagers slipped off a fence post and fell, resulting in a leg injury, according to a social media post from the Kaysville Fire Department.
Due to steep slopes and muddy conditions, rescue units A61, HR61, and Layton E54 utilized a low angle rope rescue system to haul the patient up the slope. The patient was packaged and moved to the top of the slope within 15 minutes. After being further stabilized, the individual was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.
The Kaysville Fire Department expressed gratitude to the Layton Fire Department and Kaysville Police for their assistance during the rescue.
