View Royal’s fire chief, Paul Hurst, tells CHEK News this is the first cliff injury at Thetis in two years.
The teenager, an exchange student, slipped and fell from the 40-foot cliff. He hit the cliff face several times in the fall, and suffered fractures and head injuries.
The injuries are considered serious but non-life threatening.
