Republican Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas was carried off of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix by a group of rescuers after suffering an ankle injury while working out.

About a dozen firefighters treated the 65-year-old senator on the side of the mountain before taking him off the mountain to a nearby hospital Thursday. Moran was in Arizona to meet with the Drug Enforcement Agency and tour the southern border.
