About five hours after falling approximately 70 feet at Bad Branch Falls, 22-year-old Kara Kennedy was rescued and carried off the trail at the Popular Nature Preserve near White'sburg, a wise Virginia resident. Kennedy suffered severe injuries and was flown to Pikeville Medical Center by Wings Air Rescue. According to Pine Mountain Search and Rescue, Kennedy and her boyfriend climbed cliffs next to the falls and when she reached an area near the top of the waterfall, one which is off limits to climbers because of the sleeping hazard, she slipped and fell to the rocks below. Her boyfriend ran barefoot across the rough terrain of the more-than-mile-long trail to a nearby residence for help. When she fell, they were alone. He lost his son. He had to leave her and basically run to find help. He came all the way out, called 911 and then had to go back in to be with her. I don't know. He was in shock. He just, he laid out in the gravels and was back and just laid there and said somebody was bleeding and I gave him, he didn't have any shoes on so he ran out from the falls all the way out and I gave him some shoes and he said his girlfriend fell off from the top of the falls. Nearly three dozen first responders from various agencies in Letcher County and volunteers from the community took part in the rescue effort. The terrain on the trail is treacherous, especially in the area near the waterfall. After about half a mile, you start going up extensively in elevation and probably the last fourth of a mile is a good, high upheal through rough terrain. Those who took part in the rescue effort were glad to have brought the young woman off the trail alive. I'm happy that she came out and I think she'll pull through. I mean, she was talking the whole way out. She was busted up pretty bad but I think she'll make it. She's a lucky woman. She's, she made it out alive. Most people who fall from the falls don't. Kennedy is still being treated at Pikeville Medical Center for potentially life-threatening injuries. Reporting in Letcher County for EKB News, I'm Chris Anderson.
