A missing Ladysmith woman was found hours after she failed to show up for an appointment.

On Sept. 4, at 8 p.m., Ladysmith RCMP were alerted that an 84 year old woman had missed a meeting with her son at 4 p.m.

RCMP was lead to believe the woman went into the wooded area near the 3000 block of Yellow Point Road.

She was taken to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital with minor injuries, as a precautionary measure.
