CEDAR CITY — A man in his mid-50s was rescued from an abandoned mine in a remote area of Beaver County over the weekend, authorities said.
Team members were mobilized Saturday evening after receiving an activation alert to rescue a person trapped in a mine on the east side of the Mineral Mountains, according to a Monday post by Beaver County Search and Rescue.
"The team deployed to the remote site via vehicle and then by foot for 45 minutes in darkness," the statement said. "After establishing a medical and support station at the base of the hill, emergency responders ascended to the mine and, after securing rigging, proceeded to descend to assist the trapped individual."
The man was then successfully extricated from the mine unharmed, the post said.
