Carson City emergency crews respond to overturned vehicle at Ash Canyon
Carson City Fire Department, sheriff's deputies and Care Flight were called Thursday evening to an overturned vehicle in the Ash Canyon area.
The incident happened before 8 p.m. and involved a vehicle that had overturned around 3 miles up in the canyon above the water tank off of a trailhead. One person was injured and stuck, but not trapped, inside the vehicle because it had overturned.
A Care Flight helicopter was called to respond as the terrain was difficult to access. Carson City Fire Department personnel reached the injured man who had non life-threatening injuries, according to Carson City dispatch.
The patient was transported out of the canyon via Care Flight and flown to the trauma ward at Renown Medical Center.
