At approximately 9:28 a.m., the police officers received a report of a vehicle that had gone over an embankment (路堤) on Forest Service Road 39. The call came from a man who was worried about his brother, Brandon Garrett, who had failed to arrive at their camp the previous afternoon. Family members had discovered his vehicle in the morning but were unable to reach it due to the difficult terrain (地形).
Responding to the emergency, the police officers and the ambulance rushed to the scene. Sheriff Ash was among the first to arrive and found the vehicle, along with one of Garrett’s dogs, in a very deep and narrow ravine (沟壑). As he searched for a way to access the ravine, Sheriff Ash heard a call for help. Garrett was located alive approximately one hundred yards from the vehicle. Sheriff Ash provided first aid on the spot.
With the assistance of volunteers, the officers began the task of reaching Garrett. After setting up their rescue equipment, the team secured Garrett in a rescue basket and used a rope to pull him across the ravine to safety. From there, he was transported to a helicopter, which airlifted him to a regional hospital for further treatment.
The investigation revealed that Garrett had been traveling north on Forest Service Road 39 with his four dogs when he failed to make a turn, causing the vehicle to plunge off the embankment. Remarkably, one of his dogs managed to travel nearly four miles back to their camp, alerting the rest of the party that something was wrong.
Garrett, despite being injured, had crawled approximately one hundred yards from the vehicle and spent the night in the ravine. The rest of his family continued their search and eventually located his vehicle the next morning. The three remaining dogs were found alive at the crash scene.
