ROCKERVILLE, S.D. (AP) — A man seriously injured a leg and foot after jumping off a cliff at a popular swimming area in western South Dakota and failing to clear the rocks below.

Authorities say the man in his early 20s jumped off the cliff at Hippie Hole near Rockerville Sunday afternoon, but hit the rocks below. He was transported in a South Dakota National Guard helicopter to a Rapid City hospital.

Emergency officials did not release the man’s identity.

Eight area agencies responded to the accident, including Pennington County Search and Rescue, Rapid City Fire Department and the Hayward Fire Department.
