A medical helicopter was sought due to the extent of the injuries and the isolated location of the route. The patient was moved for air evacuation after firefighters set up a landing zone at the South Contact Station on Route 209 in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Until the car was secured and the road was cleared, units stayed on the scene.
