Man rescued from embankment at Golden Gardens

Posted by Geeky Swedes on September 9th, 2009

Update: The Seattle Fire Department’s rope team rescued a man who fell down the hill near the dog park above Golden Gardens Park.

It happened just before 5:30 p.m. Spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen with Seattle Fire tells us they arrived on scene to find a man in his twenties who fell about 50 feet down a steep embankment.

Witnesses who had been at the dog park earlier tell us the man appeared to be intoxicated shortly before he fell down the slope and became entangled in the brush. Firefighters pulled him up the ledge and loaded him into an ambulance. He was transported to Harborview Medical Center with minor injuries. (Thanks Amy & Amy for the emails!)
