20-year-old woman slips on rocks at Lake Creek Falls, hospitalized via Life Flight

LANE COUNTY, Ore. 
A 20-year-old woman was hospitalized via Life Flight with significant injuries after slipping on rocks at Lake Creek Falls Monday.

The accident was reported just before 8 p.m. just south of Triangle Lake. The woman, who is from Dexter, was climbing rocks when she slipped and fell about 20 to 30 feet, hitting a series of rock ledges before landing in the water.

An onlooker pulled her from the water and provided first aid until respoders arrived.
Rescuers had to build a high-line system with a rope strung across about 80 feet of swiftly moving water in order to gain access to the woman.

She was hospitalized via Life Flight and her current condition is unknown.
