A 32-year-old woman fell from a 100ft cliff and spent more than half a day on the rocky ground after she became distracted by her phone, according to reports.
The unnamed woman was stuck on the ground overnight until someone heard her screams.
A video posted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department shows rescuers preparing to airlift the woman who was strapped to a board.
The incident occurred in Palos Verdes in Los Angeles at around 7 pm, and it was not until 8 am the next day that a passerby heard her shouts and called officers.
In an interview with NBC, police lieutenant Doug Kimura said that the woman fell while looking at her mobile device.
“She’s lucky that she didn’t succumb to her injuries,” he added. “She’s also lucky that someone heard her screaming with all the wind and noise.”
The woman miraculously survived and only suffered ‘minor injuries.’
This comes after a shocking video showed a tourist almost fell into the Grand Canyon while taking photos.
Emily Koford and her mother were walking through the popular tourist spot when they stopped for some photos.
However, Emily took a huge step backwards and did not realize the cliff top they were standing on had a cut on, which means she placed her foot onto thin air.
Her mother, Erin, said to ABC News: “She kept going backwards. I looked out and I saw how close she was to the edge and I said, ‘Don’t take another step back,’ and she did.
“My stomach went up into my chest.”
Erin added: “I don’t think she was really aware of how dangerous that was. I could see exactly what would happen if she fell.”
