ROCK ISLAND, Ill. — A 19-year-old man was rescued by firefighters after falling 50 feet from a hotel roof Sunday morning.
KLJB reported that firefighters said the man fell from an eighth story balcony to a third floor roof. They weren’t sure how it happened, according to the report.
The man was conscious when crews arrived, but he had multiple injuries and was suffering from cold exposure, according to the report.
Firefighters used a ladder as a bridge to the roof from another balcony, put the man in a basket, and lowered him to the ground.
