Muskingum College student dies after falling from cliff

CAMBRIDGE, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say a Muskingum College student who fell from a cliff while hiking in an eastern Ohio state park has died.

Salt Fork State Park assistant manager George Ayers says a witness called 911 Saturday at 2:26 p.m. to report that a woman fell from a cliff at Hosak’s Cave. He says Amy Adams, of Baltimore, was flown to Akron General Hospital and died Sunday at about 1:15 a.m.

Ayers says Adams fell about 40 feet into a creek bed after wandering from a marked trail to access the top of the cliff.

College president Anne Steele has informed students at the New Concord school of the junior biology major’s death.

The park is about 80 miles east of Columbus.
