California Woman Rescued After She Was Heard Screaming Following Fall Off 100-Foot Cliff

A California woman was airlifted to safety early Friday morning after she tumbled 100 feet off a clip in Palos Verdes.

At around 8 a.m., officials received a call about a female hiker at the bottom of a ravine, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department tells PEOPLE.

The woman, whose identity has not been revealed to the public, was discovered by fellow hikers who heard her screams for help.

Once they located the woman, they realized they were unable to reach her and dialed 911.

Emergency responders with LASD’s Special Enforcement Bureau responded to the scene and performed a hoist rescue.
