Gunks Accident
|
Anybody have info on the accident today? Partner of mine saw the aftermath on the way out. |
|
Saw a helicopter and must have been 3 or 4 ambulances and police cars at the Trapps bridge and overlook parking, with traffic down to one lane. Felt more like a car accident scene, hope everyone is ok. |
|
Was it an MVA or a climbing accident? |
|
Don't know but hard to imagine you'd need that many ambulances for a climbing accident. |
|
Whatever it was, it was really bad. When we were leaving around 4:30 today there was still a ton of activity, along with NYSP. Seemed like a fatal accident to me. Best wishes to the family in the holiday season. |

What I heard from people at rock and snow was that a hiker fell off while on a trail at the top of the ridge. Unfortunately it was fatal as is probably obvious from the height. |
