State forest rangers rescued a New Jersey teen who injured his leg in
a fall while hiking in the Adirondacks.
State officials said 16-year-old Allen Glick of Englewood was hiking
with a group on Mount Colden late Sunday afternoon when he lost his
footing and slid about 400 feet down the mountain. Glick's leg was
injured when it struck a tree on the way down.
Another member of the hiking party used a cell phone to call Essex
County 911, and the forest rangers were dispatched to find the group.
A member of the group helped Glick get to Lake Arnold, where they were
met by forest rangers.
The rangers transported him out of the backcountry. Glick was taken to
the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, where he was treated
and released.
