Retired Georgia news anchor falls into ravine, rescued by helicopter in elaborate rescue: report

A beloved television news anchor from Georgia fell into a ravine while hiking – prompting emergency responders to pull-off a daring rescue.

Carol Sbarge, who worked for WSB-TV for nearly three decades, went on a hike in September with her boyfriend in Chattahoochee National Forest.

Her peaceful hike turned disastrous when she plummeted down a steep ravine.

"So somehow, as I was kind of walking on the trail, my foot hit a rock. And before I knew it, I just went tumbling down this ravine," she told WSB-TV.
