Cranberry Twp woman dies in fall at McConnells Mill
SLIPPERY ROCK TWP, Lawrence County — Authorities say a Cranberry Township woman trying to retrieve a camera she had dropped died in a fall at McConnells Mill State Park.
Park officials said the 58-year-old woman was with family members taking pictures of fall foliage on Wednesday evening.
Her name had not been released as of early this morning.
Park manager Dustin Drew said she dropped the camera while standing on Breakneck Bridge, which spans Cheeseman Run.
Drew said the woman was trying to climb along a rocky ledge to reach the camera when she fell about 20 feet about 7 p.m. Wednesday.
A rope rescue team and paramedics were called, but Drew said the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
