The team reported that the driver had been successfully removed from their car and taken to a "waiting ambulance."

The High Angle Rescue Team is one of CSFD's five specialized response teams.

Established in 1979, the team was created to "provide safe and efficient evacuation of climbers in the Cheyenne Canon and Garden of the Gods Area."

Roll-over accidents in the Gold Camp Road area are also a big concern for the team, due to an influx in the accidents and amateur climbers.

According to the city, the team responds to an average of 30 rescues a year.
