Two hikers fell and suffered leg injuries in Acadia National Park at about the same time on Tuesday, requiring separate groups of rescuers to carry each person out of the woods. At around 12:30 p.m., a 71-year-old woman fell and broke her leg on the summit of South Bubble Mountain. Fifteen minutes later, a 60-year-old man fell and injured his knee on Gorham Mountain Trail.
