(KTLA) – A teen girl who reportedly suffered an overdose in the area of Devil’s Gate Dam reservoir in Pasadena had to be airlifted out of the canyon Thursday, officials announced.
At around 3:15 p.m., first responders with the Pasadena Fire Department were dispatched to the dam on reports of a female patient who needed assistance. The girl was located on the south side of the reservoir below the dam, between the 210 Freeway and Linda Vista Avenue.
Details are limited and it’s unclear exactly how the teen got to the location, but according to a news release from Pasadena fire officials, she was unable to walk or move without assistance.
“The patient was non-ambulatory, and her extraction from the canyon was complicated by the dam’s high walls and the surrounding topography, necessitating helicopter hoist assistance,” the release noted.
