A woman amazingly suffered only minor injuries after falling into the Niagara Gorge on Friday morning.
The 38-year-old went over the retaining wall at River Road in Niagara Falls around 3:30 a.m. She was able to walk up part of the gorge on her own before being rescued from a secondary ledge about seven metres down. She was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Firefighters used infrared cameras to locate the woman in the bushes.
There’s no word yet on what caused her to fall.
