15-Year-Old Rescued at Sunset Cliffs

A 15-year-old had to be taken to the hospital after she slipped on wet rocks at Sunset Cliffs, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said. 

The Chula Vista girl was walking with her dad on the rocks near Ladera Street, where they could access the tide pools on foot, according to lifeguards. 

As she walked on the slippery rocks, the girl fell and fractured her lower leg. 

Rescuers had to load her onto a stretcher and hoist her using a rope to get her out of the area.

The girl was taken to UCSD Medical Center for treatment.
