PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Arizona man who was rescued on Mount Hood over the weekend is in fair condition.
Lucio Barajas, who apparently suffered a broken leg on Saturday, is being treated at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.
Barajas, of Tucson, Ariz., was rescued by the Oregon Air National Guard just below the mountain’s 11,239-foot summit. Scott Meyers of the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office search and rescue team says Barajas fell while climbing just after 2 p.m. and was lifted to safety about three hours later.
