A hiker died when he slipped and plummeted down the side of a mountain in front of his wife and 5 children near Oregon's Multnomah Falls, officials said
A 40-year-old hiker was killed over the weekend when he slipped and plummeted down the side of a mountain in front of his wife and five children near Oregon's Multnomah Falls, officials said.
Authorities said Gerardo Hernandez-Rodriguez, 41, stumbled and fell nearly 200 feet down the embankment alongside the Columbia River Highway. They said alcohol impairment was likely a contributing factor in the fall. A 62-year-old woman hiking with a group of friends in the same area in August 2022 died when she fell and suffered a fatal head injury, officials said.
The Corbett Fire Department responded to the scene and found Hernandez-Rodriguez in 45 minutes but he was already dead, officials said. With the help of volunteers and other search-and-rescue agencies, firefighters managed to find him and retrieve his body, Plock said.
