Highway 20 Rescue
(Linn County, OR) -- Oregon State Police are crediting a team effort for the successful rescue of a woman in rural Linn County, Wednesday morning. An OSP Fish and Wildlife Trooper found a car on the shoulder of Highway 20 and realized the driver may have gotten lost. They later learned the 30-year-old woman walked up a nearby Forest Service Road and wasn't able to find her way back. Linn County Search and Rescue and an OSP K-9 team tracked her route, and found her about a mile from the car. They built a fire and gave her food and blankets, staying with her until a Snowcat arrived to take her back to the highway. Sweet Home Medics transported her to the hospital for an evaluation.
