A hiker was transported to the hospital via helicopter Thursday after falling on the Bear Canyon trail.

According to a social media post from Southern Arizona Rescue Association, Pima County Sheriff's Department requested a SARA team for the hiker.

Due to the severity of the injuries, an ambulance was requested, the post said. SARA carried the hiker via stokes to the trailhead to a waiting Rural Metro ambulance.

The ambulance transported the hiker from the trailhead to the Sabino helipad to meet the helicopter.
