Dorgali, falls during an excursion and hits his head: helicopter rescue on site

The point where she fell was so inaccessible that the Areus helicopter had to intervene to rescue her. Echo Lima 1 took off from the Olbia base and at midday today it flew over Cala Fuili, at the height of Cala Luna, in the territory of Dorgali. An operator from the Alpine Rescue and the 118 doctor lowered themselves with the winch to recover a 58-year-old Canadian tourist who had fallen during an excursion.

The woman was part of an organized group that had chosen the route on the east coast for an experience in contact with the wildest nature. The walk, which had begun a few hours earlier, was going well, in an atmosphere of ideal fun and relaxation. Until the 58-year-old North American hiker stumbled and lost her balance on the path between Cala Fuili and Cala Luna, above Cala di Oddoana. It was an instant. She fell and hit her head in a clearing in the woods.

Those who were with her called 112, which located them with difficulty. Once stabilized and loaded on board, the patient, who never lost consciousness, was transported to the Emergency Room of the San Francesco Hospital in Nuoro, where the medical staff performed instrumental tests on her, which revealed a head trauma.
