The Navajo County Sheriff’s Office received reports that two people fell near the bridge off Territorial Road southeast of Winslow on Sunday evening.
First responders rescued one of them from the rocks and the woman was flown to a hospital with “severe injuries.”
She told law enforcement she was trying to reach the man when she fell.
Crews from the Joseph City Fire Department, Winslow Fire and Medical and Gila County Search and Rescue couldn’t find him that night. They resumed search efforts the next morning.
