A 4-year-old boy who fell off a 70-foot cliff at Red River Gorge in eastern Kentucky suffered a few scratches and bruises but walked away without any severe injuries, officials said.
The boy and his parents were hiking near Princess Arch on Friday when he slipped and fell, hitting "multiple ledges" before landing about 70 feet below, the Wolfe County Search and Rescue Team told news outlets. The father scrambled after the boy and called for help.
When Wolfe County Search and Rescue arrived on the scene, they were relieved to find the boy alert and talking.
