AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin-Travis County EMS tweeted they, along with Austin Fire, are responding to a “wilderness rescue” near the 5400 block of Courtyard Drive Thursday morning.
In a second update, ATCEMS said the patient is on the side of a steep hill near the water, and crews will use a ropes system to get her to a boat to take her where emergency personnel can treat her.
A Star Flight helicopter is also responding to the scene.
They have declared a trauma alert, and say a female in her late teens suffered serious injuries as the result of a fall, ATCEMS said in an initial alert tweet.
Austin Police Department said one lane of Loop 360 southbound is closed at the Pennybacker Bridge so crews can get to the patient for treatment.
We will have more on the situation as information becomes available.
