MURRAY Jeremy Achter did everything right to get ready for a two-day trail running trip with a friend in Little Cottonwood Canyon last fall. He had proper gear, he contacted his family members, and he also had the electronic devices to notify the authorities when something went wrong, said Rick Black, paramedic team lead for Intermountain Life Flight.
Black said first responders were able to immediately get Achter s GPS coordinates after his running partner called 911. We launched to that area. My partner and I felt very confident that because of the height of this fall, the terrain that he was in, that this would most likely be a body recovery. But as we flew over the scene and we found this victim, we noticed his hand was moving, Black said.
