Hiker saved

    A MAN who fell down a 50-meter cliff Tuesday evening was saved by rescuers in an overnight effort that lasted about seven hours.

    The 23-year-old man went hiking alone Tuesday afternoon. On his return, he walked down a steep and winding path, which had become slippery in the light rain. The man accidentally fell off the cliff and rolled 50 meters into the forest before he was stopped by a tree. Police received his call for help at around 7 p.m., but only confirmed his location by around 10 p.m. as the man had told them the wrong location.
