An injured 24-year-old French tourist was rescued after falling in the Valea C\u0103ld\u0103rilor area of Romania\u2019s Bucegi Mountains on Friday morning, September 19.<\/p>\n
The young man was recovered by mountain rescuers after an operation that lasted more than six hours. According to the data communicated by Salvamont Prahova<\/a>, he was part of a group of three French tourists who got lost after missing the marked trail.<\/p>\n “The victim was handed over to the SAJ ambulance. He presented head trauma, ankle fracture, knee sprain, and joint dislocation of the upper limb,” the cited source specifies.\u00a0<\/p>\n Eight mountain rescuers participated in the operation.<\/p>\n Romania\u2019s mountain rescuers save dozens of lost tourists every summer. Some, however, cannot be helped. One such case took place last month, when a 70-year-old English tourist died<\/a> while on a trail in Romania’s touristic Bucegi Mountains due to a cardiorespiratory arrest.<\/p>\n
