A hypothermic Kentucky man was rescued hours after he fell, hit his head and lost a shoe while hiking on Mount Washington in New Hampshire on Thursday, authorities said.

The 23-year-old hiker, identified as Joabe Barbosa, was hiking Mount Washington around 6:45 p.m. local time when he went off the trail and into the Ammonoosuc Ravine, New Hampshire Fish and Game officials said.

"While descending into the ravine, Barbosa fell and hit his head and face, lost one of his sneakers, and eventually became hypothermic," the agency said in their release.

Officials said Barbosa managed to call 911 and ask for help. That call was sent to a conservation officer along with the GPS coordinates of his location.

"The coordinates showed Barbosa well off trail in a drainage ravine alongside one of the tributaries of the Ammonoosuc River, north of the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail at approximately 3,600 feet in elevation," authorities added.
