Authorities in Northern California say a 4-year-old boy
survived after falling 230 feet from a seaside cliff and landing on a rocky
beach.
The child has been hospitalized in critical but stable
condition.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/1uipJ70
) the boy was on a family outing on a trail in Bodega Bay on Monday evening
when he suddenly couldn't be found.
Bodega Bay Fire Department rescuers spotted him on the beach
at the bottom of the cliff.
Two firefighter-paramedics rappelled down with a rescue
basket and reached the boy, with help from illumination flares fired into the
air from a Coast Guard motor lifeboat.
Fire Capt. Justin Fox says the boy was awake and crying by
the time he was loaded into an ambulance and rushed to a hospital.
