[VERIFIED] Initial reports state a 20-30 year-old woman was spotted in the Tujunga Wash near Branford St. Due to the rapid flow of stormwater, she traveled downstream before being rescued by an LAFD Rescue Helicopter crew using a hoist cable and harness near the Lankershim rescue point. She and her LAFD rescuer have been safely hoisted aboard the aircraft where she will receive continuous in-flight care for minor injuries, including hypothermia, during direct helicopter transport to an area hospital. The LAFD conducted a thorough assessment of the waterway, amd has confirmed there were no other persons or animals known to be in peril.
[VERIFIED] Report of unknown age female in the LA River near Branford but moving downstream rapidly. LAFD ground crews are coordinating with Air Operations to effect a hoist operation. Additional updates to follow.
