A beloved television news anchor from Georgia fell into a ravine while hiking – prompting emergency responders to pull-off a daring rescue.
Carol Sbarge, who worked for WSB-TV for nearly three decades, went on a hike in September with her boyfriend in Chattahoochee National Forest.
Her peaceful hike turned disastrous when she plummeted down a steep ravine.
“So somehow, as I was kind of walking on the trail, my foot hit a rock. And before I knew it, I just went tumbling down this ravine,” she told WSB-TV.
She broke her ankle in three spots during the tumble, she told the outlet.
Her boyfriend first – unsuccessfully – attempted to call emergency services for assistance, but their remote location prevented the call from going through.
Eventually, another hiker came to their rescue and hiked outside the remote trail to connect with the Habersham County Emergency Services.
“They’re just special people. They’re putting themselves at risk. You know, every day they don’t know what kind of danger they’re going to face,” Sbarge told the outlet, speaking of the rescue workers.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Habersham County Emergency Services for comment.
