At approximately 11:40 a.m., Weber Fire District was called out to a traumatic injury at Causey Reservoir, where a 39-year-old woman was reported injured while hiking with her family about 1.5 miles in from the trailhead. Weber Fire sent out a Life Flight helicopter and a ground group to rescue the injured woman.
