- She was rescued by helicopter after being stuck for 13 hours.
The woman, 32, fell off the cliff in Palos Verdes, in Los Angeles and was rescued after a hiker heard her cries for help. In a video released by Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows rescuers being lowered from a hovering helicopter to the rocky ground below.
Yesterday, @LMTLASD Deputies responded to a call just north of the light tower in the city of Rancho Palos Verdes after cries for help were heard. Along with LA County Fire, Air 5 responded and repelled down to the rocky bottom and rescued the victim.
According to reports in Independent, the woman fell around 7:00pm on Thursday while looking at her phone. She was discovered by a hiker only at 8:00am the next day.
Police lieutenant Doug Kimura said, "She's lucky that she didn't succumb to her injuries. She's also lucky that someone heard her screaming with all the wind and noise."
