A hiker was injured on Cowles Mountain Saturday morning after falling 30 to 45 feet down an embankment, officials said.
The fall happened just after 9 a.m. as the hiker was going down the Climber’s Loop trail on the mountain off Navajo Road.
A San Diego Fire-Rescue dispatcher said the man sustained serious injuries -- including wounds to his arm -- and was taken by helicopter to a local hospital. His current condition is unknown.
