Eight ambulance crew rescued a woman after a dramatic cliff
fall.
The 42-year-old suffered a suspected broken ankle when
she took a tumble at The Warren in Folkestone
yesterday.
A spokesman for SECAmb (South East Coast
Ambulance Service) said: “It
is believed that the woman was walking down a rocky path when
she
slipped.”
Paramedics was called just before 11.40am by other walkers
who
witnessed the accident.
It is believed that she fell several feet and ended up about
100ft
from the bottom.
SECAmb sent an ambulance and paramedic car plus two 4x4s from
the HART
(Hazardous Area Response Team), which specialises in rescues in
areas
of normally inaccessible land.
The woman was taken to the William Harvey Hospital in
Ashford.
