A teenager is lucky to be okay after falling nearly 30 feet down Crystal Falls in Coquitlam.
Bystanders pulled the unconscious boy out of the water around 3 p.m. on Sunday and firefighters spent nearly an hour hiking down and pulling him back up to the road.
鈥淗e had a head laceration and other injuries that are yet to be determined,鈥� assistant fire chief Stu Aspinall said.
The teen was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
鈥淭he nice weather brings everybody out and it鈥檚 time to play but obviously we still have to be cautious,鈥� Aspinall said.
鈥淐rystal Falls is an area where we get a lot of people hiking in but it鈥檚 still a dangerous, slippery river.鈥�
