A woman was rescued by firefighters after she was swept miles down San Jose Creek, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said Wednesday. <\/p>\n
The woman, whose name was not released, was first spotted in the creek near Fullerton Road by the 60 Freeway around 1:50 p.m. When firefighters arrived at the scene 17 minutes later, the woman was gone, the Fire Department said.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe went downstream for a while,\u201d said Pauline McGee, a spokesperson for the L.A. County Fire Department. <\/p>\n
The Fire Department continued looking for the woman downstream, sending fire trucks and using a helicopter to try to locate her, according to footage shot by newsgathering outlet OnScene.TV.<\/p>\n
Eventually, the woman was rescued at Workman Mill Road in San Jose Creek, McGee said.<\/p>\n
Video shows the woman being helped onto a stretcher by firefighters. <\/p>\n
McGee said the woman was taken to the hospital, but her condition was not immediately clear. <\/p>\n
The creek is about two feet deep and the water was flowing about eight to 10 miles per hour, McGee said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A woman was rescued by firefighters after she was swept miles down San Jose Creek, the Los Angeles…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[11057,4330,58306,2663,5463,58304,224,58303,88,58302,90,89,2489,33606,58307,316,1557,58305],"class_list":["post-108413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-fire-department","tag-firefighter","tag-fullerton-road","tag-mile","tag-minute","tag-outlet-onscene","tag-p-m","tag-pauline-mcgee","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-creek","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-scene","tag-socal-storm","tag-stretcher","tag-wednesday","tag-woman","tag-workman-mill-road"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
