A 51-year-old New York City man was injured after slipping and falling 30 feet from rocks while taking pictures of a waterfall and fall foliage at Enders State Forest in Granby, Connecticut, Saturday afternoon.
Life Star airlifted the injured man to Hartford Hospital after a rescue mission near an Enders State Forest waterfall off of Route 219 (Barkhamsted Road).
The man was photographing a waterfall and fall foliage in the forest when he fell off some slippery rocks and fell down the edge of the waterfall at about 12:45 p.m, according to the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP).
