A hiker died on Mt. Shasta on Monday due to injuries received from a fall.

The hiker, whose name was not released, was injured Sunday evening, but died on the morning of July 4 with a family member, said the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and Sheriff's Office personnel arrived at the location where the man later died due to his injuries from the fall, somewhere near the 10,000 foot elevation near Clear Creek Trail.

United States Forest Service rescue climbers also arrived on the scene, but it was a California Highway Patrol helicopter that removed the man from the mountain, according to law enforcement.

Sheriff Jon Lopey offered his thoughts and prayers to the friends and family of the man.
