Several members of a search and rescue team in Colorado suffered injuries in an "avalanche of rocks" on Wednesday while navigating dangerous terrain to recover the body of a missing hiker from a mountain, authorities said.
A deputy located McDermott’s car near the Capitol Lake Trailhead Sunday night and a search began the following morning with members of Mountain Rescue Aspen, an all-volunteer group. The search for McDermott continued for days until Wednesday, when rescuers aboard a Blackhawk helicopter from the Colorado Army National Guard spotted McDermott’s body about 500 feet below a ridge known as "Knife’s Edge" near the summit of Capitol Peak, the sheriff’s office said.More Related News
