A woman is recovering after falling 20 feet from the Torn Valley hiking trail in Rockland County on Friday evening. The Spring Hill Community Ambulance Corps responded around 6 p.m., with police and fire crews joining them. They found the 40-year-old woman suffering from a compound fracture and severe pain. Paramedics administered an IV and gave her fentanyl for pain relief before helping her up. She was then placed on a gurney, carried out of the woods in stable condition, and transported to Hackensack Hospital for further treatment. The Torne Trail runs through Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks.
