S'porean teen, 17, felt unwell during HK mountain hike, had to be airlifted & sent to hospital: HK media
This took place on the morning of Oct. 10.
A 17-year-old Singaporean teenager who was hiking Hong Kong's Lion Rock mountain with two friends had to be airlifted to a hospital on October 10 after she felt unwell. According to HK01, the teen was reportedly an exchange student at the local school. The three friends embarked on their hike around 5 a.m. and reached the 495-meter-high mountain peak to witness the sunrise.
About an hour into the journey, the Singaporean girl started feeling cold and subsequently vomited. This was her first time attempting to climb Lion Rock.
Rescue teams responded to the situation following a call from the girl's mother. She reportedly informed them that her daughter and her two friends had gone hiking on the mountain. A Government Flying Service helicopter was dispatched to airlift the unwell teenager, who was then taken to the hospital via ambulance. The South China Morning Post reported that the two other hikers did not suffer any injuries and returned home safely.
