A Chevy S-10 Blazer plummeted about 200 feet off Hiram Bluff around 8:35 p.m. Tuesday. Rescuers worked for over three hours to bring the man, reported to be suicidal, to the top of the cliff. Notice in this photo taken Wednesday morning the blue paint to the right. Also notice the fresh scrape marks. It appears the vehicle may have started to roll before taking flight.
