A Massachusetts man was airlifted by a Black Hawk helicopter after a medical emergency while hiking in a remote area with his family.

In a news release, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department announced the agency was notified around 2:14 p.m. Tuesday about a 52-year-old man experiencing a medical emergency between two summits on the Kinsman Ridge Trail in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. 

The agency said the trail is located approximately 4 miles from the nearest trailhead, which made a quick rescue response difficult.

Due to the remote location of the hiker, the New Hampshire Army National Guard deployed a Black Hawk helicopter to assist in the rescue. 

Medics reached the 52-year-old hiker just before 4 p.m.

They continued performing life-saving measures that family members and Good Samaritan hikers began, until he was taken down to an ambulance by Littleton Rescue and Fire at 4:40 p.m., the department said.
