Rescue team saves hiker 100 yards deep in Lava Tube cave at Snow Canyon State Park
IVINS, Utah (ABC4) — A rescue team lifted a hiker that was 100 yards deep in a Lava Tube cave at Snow Canyon State Park on Saturday.
On May 31, crews from Santa Clara-Ivins Fire & Rescue, along with Washington County Search & Rescue, responded to Snow Canyon State Park to rescue an individual stuck 100 yards deep in a Lava Tube cave.
The rescue was considered technical — requiring a High Angle Rope Rescue team to extricate the individual. The rescue took around four hours to complete, officials said.
Crews conducted another rescue the same day. A hiker had reportedly ran out of water in triple-digit temperatures. This heat-related emergency took around one hour to complete, officials said.

Man stuck upside down in tree rescued in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood
A worker was stuck 30 feet up in a tree hanging upside down for about half an hour before he was rescued in Pittsburgh's Bloomfield neighborhood on Tuesday. Pittsburgh Public Safety said first responders were called to the 200 block of Amboy Street just before 1:30 p.m. for reports of a tree pruner who had become stuck upside down about 30 feet off the ground. Luckily, first responders said the worker was wearing a waist harness that kept him from falling to the ground. Crews were able to get to him with a ladder truck. Using a patient harness and a rope lowering system, first responders brought the man down to the ground a little before 2 p.m. (Photo: Pittsburgh Public Safety Department) "He's extremely lucky that we have our rescue trucks here from EMS, police and obviously fire with that high purchase with that ladder to get him out," said Pittsburgh public information officer Cara Cruz. He was taken to the hospital for further evaluation, Public Safety said. "Once you're inverted for that long — a little over half an hour, he was extricated just before 2 o'clock — there can be some blood flow issues, according to the medics here on scene, so he's been transported just to be evaluated," Cruz said. "He's alert, he's conscious, he's talking, so, like I said, that harness was a really big deal. It could have been much, much worse here today. It was about a 30-foot drop otherwise."

Veteran receiver Lewis opens CFL season chasing CFL touchdown receptions record
Eugene Lewis will resume his quest to land in the CFL record book. Lewis and the Ottawa Redblacks open the 2025 campaign Thursday night, visiting the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Lewis, 32, joined Ottawa in free agency following two seasons with the Edmonton Elks. The six-foot, 200-pound Lewis finished 2024 on quite a roll. The three-time CFL all-star had TD catches in Edmonton's final eight regular-season contests, breaking the club record of seven and tying the franchise mark for consecutive games with any type of touchdown. Lewis needs touchdown catches in Ottawa's first two games to tie Hall of Famer Terry Evanshen's CFL mark for consecutive matches with a TD grab (10). The former Penn State star has recorded 398 catches for 6,261 yards and 41 TDs in 97 regular-season contests. He was the East Division's outstanding player in 2022 after recording 91 receptions for 1,303 yards and 10 TDs with Montreal. Lewis won't be the only CFL player worth watching this season. Others include: — Edmonton defensive linemen Jake Ceresna and Robbie Smith, who helped Toronto earn a CFL-best 48 sacks last season. Ceresna and Argos teammate Ralph Holley both had eight sacks to finish in a five-way tie for the league lead while Smith, of Brampton, Ont., recorded six for the Grey Cup champions. — Winnipeg running back Brady Oliveira. The five-foot-11, 222-pound Oliveira was the league's top Canadian and outstanding player last season after claiming a second straight CFL rushing title (1,353 yards). The Winnipeg native also led in yards from scrimmage (1,829) for a second consecutive season. — Montreal linebackers Tyrice Beverette and Darnell Sankey. Beverette was the East Division's top defensive player with a CFL-high 137 defensive plays — including 102 tackles — and second overall in tackles for a loss (eight) while adding five sacks, four forced fumbles and two interceptions. Sankey recorded 107 tackles with a sack and an interception. — Ottawa linebacker Adarius Pickett. The 28-year-old was an East Division all-star despite playing only 13 games in 2024 before suffering a season-ending ruptured Achilles tendon. Pickett had 52 tackles, 14 special-teams tackles, a sack, an interception and a forced fumble. — Edmonton Elks linebacker Nick Anderson. The five-foot-11, 242-pound Anderson was the CFL's top rookie last season after finishing tied with teammate Nyles Morgan for most defensive tackles (111). He was also second in total tackles (116) and defensive plays (130). — Roland Milligan Jr., Saskatchewan Roughriders. The five-foot-11, 200-pound defensive back was the league's top defensive player after leading the CFL in interceptions and defensive takeaways (both eight) and registering 111 defensive plays (fifth overall). He was also third in special-teams tackles (20) and helped the Riders rank first in forced turnovers (49), forced fumbles (17) and fumble recoveries (14) and second in interceptions (24). — Folarin Orimolade, Calgary Stampeders. After helping Toronto win a second Grey Cup in three seasons, Orimolade was dealt back to Calgary, where he began his CFL career in 2018, for Canadian linebacker Cam Judge. Orimolade, who earned a Grey Cup ring in 2018 with the Stamps, had 17 tackles, six sacks, one interception and a forced fumble last season. — Judge, a Montreal native, begins his second stint in Toronto, playing there in 2022 before being traded to Calgary. Judge joins veteran Wynton McManis to solidify the Argos' linebacking corps. Judge had 73 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble in 18 regular-season contests last season with the Stampeders. — Mathieu Betts, B.C. Lions. The veteran defensive end was the CFL's top defensive player in 2023 with 18 sacks _ the most by a Canadian. He rejoined the Lions last season after being released by the NFL's Detroit Lions and had two sacks in seven regular-season games. A full '25 campaign should help the 30-year-old Montreal native regain his '23 form. — Greg Bell, Hamilton Tiger-Cats. After platooning last season with veteran James Butler, the six-foot, 200-pound Bell has the starting job in 2025, as Butler was released in January and re-signed with B.C. Bell ran for a team-high 625 yards (6.6-yard average) and six TDs in just eight games last season and added 29 catches for 230 yards and a touchdown. — William Stanback, Ottawa. The veteran running back joined the Redblacks after rushing for 1,175 yards (5.1-yard average) and three TDs last season with B.C. It was the 30-year-old's first 1,000-yard campaign since posting a career-high 1,176 yards with Montreal in 2021. Ottawa was last overall in CFL rushing last season (83.7 yards per game). — Janarion Grant, Toronto Argonauts. Grant led the CFL in punt return yards (989), average (14.8 yards), and touchdowns (three) en route to being named its top special-teams player. Grant was also second in kick-return average (24.4) and fourth in kick return yards (1,000) while recording a 103-yard TD return. — Joe Maltos, Montreal. The Mexican-born Maltos opens the season as the club's starting kicker with the off-season retirement of Canadian David Cote. Maltos made 33-of-36 field goals (91.7 per cent) over 14 regular-season games in 2024 in place of the injured Cote. At one point, he made 20 consecutive field goals while also handling kickoffs (45 for 2,880 yards) to earn a two-year extension. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025.

‘I'm glad I didn't hit you': Utah Highway Patrol trooper nearly struck in close call with truck on SR-40
HEBER CITY, Utah () — A l trooper was nearly struck by a white truck on SR-40 last week, prompting a reminder to drivers to increase their following distance on the road. Video from the incident showed that the trooper was outside of his car while responding to a crash near mile marker 8 on SR-40 in Summit County. Utah Highway Patrol said a truck that was tailing too closely to the car ahead didn't have time to react to traffic suddenly slowing down for the crash. 'Despite another patrol car parked well behind with emergency lights flashing, the driver failed to slow down and had to swerve at the last second, barely missing the trooper,' Utah Highway Patrol said in . When interacting with the driver after she pulled over shortly after, the trooper told her his heart was racing. 'I'm so glad you're ok,' the driver told the trooper. 'I just need a second to recover. I'm glad I didn't hit you.' The trooper, after making sure the driver was ok, asked her what she learned from the incident. 'Well, I guess not to follow so closely,' she replied. Cpl. Luis Silva told the video is a lesson to Utah drivers that following distance matters on the highway. He added, 'Following too close is one of the largest reasons for crashes in Utah.' In its social media post, Utah Highway Patrol said incidents like the one in the video are the reason why Utah's exists. Under the law, drivers are advised to slow down for emergency vehicles long before they get close. If it is clear and safe, drivers should also move over to the next lane to give emergency vehicles room to operate. If it is not possible to move over, Utah Highway Patrol said to just slow down more. Either way, UHP encourages drivers to focus on the road ahead and not what's happening on the side of the highway. 'Please give yourself time and give us space,' UHP concluded in its post.
