The full inside story of newsgal’s terror trip as ANN CURRY is lucky the Boy Scouts live up to their motto, “Be prepared.”
The 57-year-old NBC newswoman was hiking with her husband, Brian Ross, and their 19-year-old son, Walker, on Harriman State Park’s Bear Mountain, 50 miles north of New York City, last month when she fell on a jagged rock and broke her ankle. That’s when the Boy Scouts swooped in and saved the day!
While her frantic family went to summon help, Scout Troop 368 from Berkeley Heights, N.J., found the injured star on the side of a trail and asked if she was OK. When Ann replied “no,” the scouts immediately sprang into action.
Gathering sticks they found in the woods, they “splinted up her leg perfectly,” said Scout Master Rick Jurgens.
