SUBLETTE COUNTY On December 27, at approximately 10 pm a call came into Sublette County Dispatch of a truck in the Green River near Reardon Draw which is just South of Big Piney.
Sublette County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) Deputies, EMS, and Sublette County Unified Fire immediately responded. With reports of the vehicle partially submerged in the icy water with the driver still in it, TipTop Search and Rescue (TTSAR) members were paged to respond, as well.
TipTop volunteers certified and trained in both Ice rescue and Swiftwater rescue responded with their gear. Prior to the arrival of the Swiftwater team, SCSO Deputies and Sublette County Unified Fire safely assisted the driver out of the vehicle utilizing a ladder which extended from the ice built up next to the bank to the bed of the truck.
