By Cathy Locke, Sacramento Bee
A California Highway Patrol helicopter crew aided in the rescue of three people Thursday morning after their small utility vehicle rolled down an embankment along the American Canyon Trail near the El Dorado County community of Cool.
As crew members of CHP Helicopter 20 were flying over the Folsom Lake area about 9:30am, they monitored a call reported a utility that a utility vehicle had gone over the side of a canyon and people were injured.
It was reported that trail maintenance personnel were riding in the utility vehicle along the trail when it rolled over, down a 40-foot embankment, ejecting all the occupants.
