Girl, 9, suffers broken leg in fall
Metro Police Search and Rescue officers and volunteers brought a 9-year-old girl with a broken leg safely down from a rocky hillside in Red Rock Canyon Monday afternoon.
The girl had been hiking with a group of seven people in the Red Springs picnic area when she and another girl became separated from the rest of the group, Sgt. Clint Bassett said.
Rescuers were flown by helicopter to where the girl had fallen, about 150 feet above the picnic area.
Blind man, girl, drive for help
Prone to seizures and legally blind, David Hanna fought panic when a campfire exploded, engulfing his wife's head and hands in flames.
"You're my eyes," he told his 14-year-old daughter, Krystallyn, sitting her on his lap behind the steering wheel of their car in a race to find help for the critically burned woman.
Paramedics say the quick action by the father and daughter saved the life of Tammyla Hanna, 34, who was reported in critical condition today at University Medical Center.
Saturday's nightmare began whenTammyla Hanna poured gasoline on a fire in a barbecue grill at a remote campsite 25 miles southwest of Las Vegas. The subsequent explosion set fire to her head and hair.
David Hanna ripped her jacket from her and smothered the flames and then got her into the front seat of the family car.
He climbed into the driver's side, slid the seat all the way back, then told the 94-pound Krystallyn, "You're my eyes. I can't see. If you see a car, block the road. We have to get Mommy to help."
After driving for what Hanna described as "forever," Krystallyn noticed an oncoming vehicle and turned the family vehicle to block the road.
The motorist stopped, then raced the burned woman and her family to a fire station.
