A Gorham woman was rescued from a New Hampshire mountain on Sunday.
Mary Ervin, 42, was hiking Mount Lafayette in the White Mountains about 5:45 p.m. when she began suffering from a “medical issue” between the summit and the Appalachian Mountain Club’s Greenleaf Hut in Franconia, according to New Hampshire Fish and Game.
Ervin was able to walk, but the medical issue made it difficult for her to move on her own. She was able to reach the hut with help from an AMC crew by 7:10 p.m.
But her condition began to worsen, and she needed to be evacuated as soon as possible, Fish and Game said Monday.
The New Hampshire Army National Guard helped hoist Ervin aboard a helicopter from Greenleaf Hut about 10:42 p.m. and flew her to Littleton Regional Healthcare for evaluation and treatment.
No additional information was released.
