Complete - River Rescue 02/25/2023 INC#0520 - Complete - River Rescue; INC#0520; 07:10AM; 11201 N Big Tujunga Canyon Rd; ; #Sunland; During a morning of extreme winter weather with cold, heavy rain and strong winds, a 61 year-old adult male was hoisted aboard a hovering LAFD rescue helicopter, and safely brought to nearby land, where he is now being medically treated by LAFD Paramedics for the affects of hypothermia. Determined to be the only victim, he will soon be transported by LAFD ambulance to an area hospital. The man (undetermined if homeless) states he was driving his van within the vast natural expanse of the Tujunga Wash at about midnight, when the vehicle (LAFD has not seen) was struck and disabled by a falling tree. He subsequently exited the van and remained on a small dirt island in the wash until spotted at sunrise by a passerby who called 911.; FS 74; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; AO1 AO2 BC10 BC12 BC15 CM40 CM42 E24 E274 E275 E298 E75 E77 E88 E89 E91 E98 EM15 H2 H3 H5 HA2 HA3 HA5 HR3 RA74 RA898 RA90 RA91 SC1 SW88 SW89 T74 T75 T98 UR88; CH5; 17 18; Brian Humphrey 02-25-23 07:27 AM
