Local photographer Jackie Crivello got word today that this story was being picked up nationally which she appreciated but said she didn't stop to help the elk for recognition, she just wanted to help.
ESTES PARK, Colo. -- A wildlife photographer came to the rescue of an elk in distress on Wednesday.
Jackie Crivello set out early in the morning to photograph wildlife in Rocky Mountain National Park.
She never expected to find her first subject tangled up in a swing.
Crivello saw the elk near a resort off Fall River Road in Estes Park. She pulled over and called 911 and was told someone was on their way to help. However, the elk continued to struggle and no help arrived. One hour passed and then another.
