Rescue crews aided four hikers, one of whom was injured and flown to a local hospital, in three separate incidents in the Coachella Valley on Thursday.
The Riverside County Sheriff s Aviation Unit Rescue 9 participated in each of the rescues and reported the incidents on Facebook.
The injured hiker was the third call the helicopter unit responded to.
The Palm Springs Police Department requested the help of the sheriff s department at about 8:45 p.m. following reports that someone was heard calling from help.
Two sheriff s department helicopters responded, Palm Springs police Sgt. Frank Guarino said.
The first helicopter found the man on his back, flashing a light, in a mountainous area west of a cul de sac in the area of La Mirada and West Sunny Dunes roads, Guarino said.

LOCK HAVEN Clinton County Commissioner Jeffrey Snyder got a surprise at Thursday’s county commissioners meeting.
The commissioners had secretly invited Lisa Schaefer, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP), to the Zoom meeting to offer some pretty special congratulations to the three-term commissioner. It seems Gov. Tom Wolf and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin announced that Snyder is a recipient of the 2021 Governor’s Awards for Local Government Excellence.
Snyder, who served as president of CCAP last year, was nominated by CCAP for the honor which is bestowed on communities, organizations and individuals for their dedication and commitment to strengthen their communities and better serve their residents.

The Eta Aquarids meteor showers peak on the very evening of this edition. Fog permitting, we should have good viewing after midnight. These meteors are thought to be bits of cosmic debris left from Halley’s Comet. The showers last through May, but the peak date is the most active night.
How quickly central California transitions from spring green to summer golden brown. But the hints of brown along roadways and hillsides are balanced against a wonderful year for colorful wildflowers, something to hold in memory as we move toward the dry season. It seems like everywhere you look flowers are blooming. Lupines and poppies carpet the meadows behind the Bear Valley Visitor Center and along Limantour Road. The grasslands of Tomales Point pop with bright orange paintbrush and beds of purple Douglas iris.
