El Paso Fire conducts rescue after car drives off Transmountain
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Fire Department conducted a rescue mission on Transmountain Road when a vehicle drove off the side of the mountain on Sunday afternoon, May 4.
One person needed to be rescued from an upside-vehicle and then airlifted by helicopter, the Fire spokesperson said.
The call came in at 1:45 p.m. Sunday about a vehicle that went off the mountain at mile marker 19 on the Northeast side of the mountain, the Fire spokesperson said.
The vehicle ended upside down and the Fire Department needed to 'extricate' a person who was trapped inside their vehicle, the Fire Department spokesperson.
Deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office were called in to divert traffic so the Fire Department's FireSTAR helicopter could land near the Ron Coleman Trail parking lot.
The person was successfully rescued and transported.
