An 18-year-old sustained major injuries after falling from a cliff in Isla Vista on Wednesday evening.
The Santa Barbara County firefighters received a report at 9:30 p.m. of an 18-year-old female found on the beach in an apparent cliff fall.
She was discovered by people walking on the beach, approximately 30 feet below the cliff closest to UC Santa Barbara’s Manzanita Village dormitory.
Firefighters and medics treated the patient and transported her to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital’s trauma center.
No further information is available at this time.
Are there no fences and warnings on the cliffside, although remembering back to my youthful days, I am not sure that either would have made much of a difference to me!
