Unrelated rescues reported in Eaton Canyon

EATON CANYON -- Authorities pulled two injured young men from Eaton Canyon Saturday in unrelated rescues, officials said.
The first incident was reported just after 1 p.m. between the second and third waterfalls of the canyon, Los Angeles County sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker said in a written statement.
Sheriff's deputies, search and rescue team members and a sheriff's helicopter found the 26-year-old man, who had fallen about 200 feet, and hospitalized him with injuries initially described as moderate, officials said.
Officials received a second report of an injured hiker in Eaton Canyon about 2:25 p.m., Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said in a written statement.
Rescuers were notified that a 23-year-old man had fallen down into the canyon under some power lines near the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, Derderian said.
Pasadena fire and sheriff's officials located the man, she said, and flew him by helicopter to a hospital with "moderate to severe" injuries.
