A man was taken to hospital early Saturday after falling about 30 metres from a trail near Wreck Beach.
Vancouver Fire assistant chief Peter Bridge said the man, who was in his early 20s, was walking with friends on Trail 4 at about 1 a.m. Saturday when he fell off a cliff. Two rescuers with the department’s technical rescue team were lowered down to the unconscious man, who was bundled up and then lowered down to the beach below.
A Coast Guard hovercraft brought the man from the beach to Spanish Banks where an ambulance was waiting.
The entire rescue took a little over two-and-half hours, said Bridge.
The man’s condition was not known Saturday.
