OUTH LAKE TAHOE: A woman has died after she plunged down a Northern California waterfall while taking photos. She slipped and lost her footing while taking photos.
The North Tahoe Fire Protection District said in a statement that the woman died Friday at Eagle Falls. Water cascades 150 feet (45 meters) from the waterfall overlooking Lake Tahoe.
Fire district spokeswoman Erin Holland said Saturday that witnesses reported the young woman was too close to the edge. There was no guardrail blocking access to the area.
The district says her death is “a sad reminder to be cautious when taking selfies and other photos in dangerous areas.”
The woman was not identified. (Agencies)
