A woman in her 20s was rescued and transported to a local hospital with major injuries after slipping on ice and sliding approximately 500 feet down a mountain at San Bernardino Peak on Sunday, officials said.

They said that just before noon, a 29-year old Yucaipa woman was hiking the San Bernardino Peak Divide Trail when she slipped on ice and slid down the mountain, about 10 miles northeast of Yucaipa, hitting several rocks and boulders before stopping at the base of a large tree.

Hikers with her were able to use their cell phones and called for help, a news release from the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department said.

A sheriff’s patrol helicopter located the hiker at approximately 9,400 feet surrounded by snow and ice. A Sheriff’s Air Rescue team responded and lowered rescue personnel equipped with alpine rescue equipment down to her. She was placed into a rescue harness and hoisted up to the helicopter by rescue personnel.

The woman was then transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center with serious injuries sustained during the fall, the release said.
