A woman got distracted by her mobile phone and was rescued by helicopter after being stuck for 13 hours at the bottom of a 100 feet cliff in California.
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.
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."
