TWINSBURG, Ohio (WOIO) - A 32-year-old woman needed to be rescued last week, after suddenly becoming sick while walking her dogs.

Twinsburg firefighters said the victim was on the bike and hike trail between Dodge Intermediate School and East Idlewood Park on Feb. 13.

Police, firefighters and EMS responded to the park around 10:45 a.m.

Police used advanced technology and a drone to quickly locate the woman.

According to police, Rapid SOS, an emergency technology company, provided a direct data link from connected devices and GPS coordinates for the drone.

The victim, whose name is not being released, was found alongside a creek.

She was then taken to University Hospitals Twinsburg for evaluation.

Firefighters said the dogs are safe and being taken care of by a family member.

Firefighters also thanked the public works employees for plowing the trail, which made it easier to find the victim.
