A 22-year-old New York woman was airlifted from the park on January 8th after crashing her snowmobile into the Madison River.
The park received a 911 call just after 10 a.m. reporting a snowmobile crash in the park near Riverside Drive, about six miles east of West Yellowstone, with both the snowmobile and rider ending up in the river.
Rangers requested assistance from Gallatin County Search and Rescue in West Yellowstone. Hebgen Basin Fire Department also responded.
When rescuers arrived, the woman had been removed from the water but was extremely cold and suffering from an apparent broken femur. An Air Idaho Rescue helicopter was requested; it landed at the scene and flew the woman to the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center for treatment.
