The 56-year-old San Jose resident was hiking with two other people when he fell from near the summit of Mount Russell on the eastern edge of the park, according to the National Parks Service.
A second person, a 45-year-old Milpitas woman, fell 30 feet, officials said. The third member of their group used a satellite emergency locator beacon and called 911. A rescue helicopter from Yosemite National Park responded and its crew was able to rescue the injured woman and flew her to a hospital, officials said. She was later flown to another hospital in Reno, Nevada, for surgery.More Related News
