For the second time in two weeks, a fall from a scenic peak in Arkansas has impacted the life of a young person and their family.
Officials in Newton County says say a male 15-year-old visitor from Texas was seriously hurt after falling from a bluff in the Ozark Mountains, just one week after an Iowa college student fell to her death in the same area.
Newton County Sheriff Glenn Wheeler told the press the boy was hiking Saturday with family when he slipped and fell about 15-feet at Mule Tail Falls, about 115 miles northeast of Fort Smith.
The area is on the trail to Hawksbill Crag, a scenic overlook that's popular with hikers and photographers.
Last week , 20-year-old Andrea Norton was with a group of college students from Sioux City, Iowa, when she fell about 100 feet off Hawksbill Crag and died.
