"At 12:15 p.m., the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department was notified that a hiker was injured about two miles from the Edmands Path trailhead parking lot, according to a statement from the department."
"People in her hiking group tried to treat the injury, but Burns 'could not bear any weight' so 911 was called, the statement said. Fellow hikers helped Burns to descend about 1,000 feet by 'scooting herself down the trail' before rescuers arrived."
"Conservation officers and 22 volunteers from Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue and Pemigewassett Valley Search and Rescue responded to the call for help. Responders hiked up Edmands Path, put Burns into a rescue litter, and carried her down the trail, officials said."
"They reached the parking lot at 4:30 p.m. Burns declined taking an ambulance, and her hiking companions instead took her to a medical facility for treatment."
