PHOENIX — Crews from Phoenix and Glendale were called to Lookout Mountain near 16th Street and Greenway Park around 10 a.m. Saturday, after reports of a hiker stung multiple times by bees.

Firefighters found an adult man near the summit who said he had been stung more than 100 times and couldn’t make it down on his own.

A Phoenix Fire helicopter was used to hoist him off the mountain.

He was taken by ambulance from the trailhead to the hospital in critical condition.
