A British tourist fell from a 50-foot cliff while attempting to climb to the summit of Ella Mini Adams Peak earlier today (13).
The young man, who had recently arrived in the area, remarkably escaped serious harm from the fall. However, it is reported that he suffered a broken leg in the incident.
Swift action was taken to provide medical care as he was subsequently admitted to the Diyatalawa Base Hospital for treatment.
Responding promptly to the accident, the Ella Tourist Police, along with tricycle drivers and employees from nearby hotels, collaborated to ensure the well-being of the British tourist.
