ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) -- A woman at Zion National Park was flown to the hospital after falling in a rappelling accident.
Members of a U.S. Air Force rescue team from Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada were called in to help retrieve 23-year-old Kaitlyn Bohlin of Northfield, Ill. Park officials say she fell about 100 feet Wednesday.
Bohlin is a backcountry seasonal volunteer in the park and was out with a friend on her day off when the accident occurred.
