Injured hiker rescued in southern Black Hills

First-responders rescued a man over the weekend who had taken a long fall from a mountain in the southern Black Hills. It happened Saturday afternoon, when the man fell 30 feet at the top of Battle Mountain, a popular hiking area near Hot Springs. The fire department says the man was able to crawl back up the hill to a parking area. Thatโ€™s where first responders assessed the patient and placed him onto a UTV to take him down the mountain to an ambulance. The fire department says the man had minor injuries.
