WATCH: Couple Chased By Cow Rescued By CHP Helicopter Crew

SOLANO COUNTY, CA — A California Highway Patrol helicopter crew came to the rescue of a couple who fell and were injured when they were chased by a cow on a local hiking trail.

It happened Monday morning at Lynch Canyon Open Space near Fairfield. When the crew with CHP Golden Gate Division Air Operations H-32 found the couple, the cow and a calf were standing just feet away on the trail.

As the helicopter hovered down to the scene, the crew was able to move the cow by sounding the helicopter's siren.

As a CHP flight officer who is also a paramedic communicated with the couple, he confirmed they were injured so the couple was hoisted 75 feet up to helicopter, one by one.

The couple was flown to the trail head where medical personnel were waiting to take them to a local hospital.

It was a busy day for the H-32 crew, who also rescued: a woman who fell on the Blue Ridge trail near Vacaville and was in critical condition; two 18-year-olds who were injured when they jumped from a rock into Lake Berryessa; and a camper at Steele Canyon Campground who suffered a medical emergency.
