A 61-year-old woman was rescued by the Wolfe County SAR team after she tried to save her dog but ended up falling 30 feet down from a waterfall in the Sunset Valley Road Cabin Development where she suffered an injured collarbone and legs.

Great work to the Wolfe Search and Rescue for rescuing the woman as we wish her and her dog a speedy recovery. Please be safe out there!
