Kentucky man rescued after falling off 40-foot cliff in Red River Gorge

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man was rescued from a remote Kentucky hiking trail after reportedly falling 40 feet off a cliff and sustaining "multiple traumatic injuries."

The Wolfe County Search & Rescue Team posted on Facebook that it responded around 1 p.m. Saturday after someone called 911 to say a hiker fell 40 feet in the Muir Valley Nature Preserve near Inner Sanctum, a popular climbing crag.

Rescuers said they approached the man and could immediately tell he was in "serious condition" with "multiple traumatic injuries." The team requested a medical helicopter from West Liberty before EMS arrived. A paramedic, two nurses and an EMT treated the man on the valley floor before the team carried the man out of the rugged area and to the appropriate medical care.

There's no update Monday on the man's condition.
