Rescue crews hoisted a man up to safety who fell 60 feet from a bluff near the American River in Rancho Cordova last Saturday evening.

Witnesses said the man was walking along the bluff on the north side of the river near the Old Fair Oaks Bridge when he fell from a 160-foot cliff.

They said the man was heard calling for help after he fell, but, it was difficult for crews to get to the man because of the location of his fall and also the thick brush that surrounded him.
