Kamloops RCMP told CFJC Today officers attended Guerin Creek Way for a well-being check and heard screams from the gully. Police say they found a man nearly 400 metres up from the creek.

Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) say they used rope and a basket stretcher to lift him up from the creek. KFR says the man injured his femur and was unable to walk. He was later transferred to hospital.
