Brent Pascua of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.The woman was identified as Sarah Louise Crocker of Ladera Ranch, the medical examiner’s office said.
The girl who fell, who was not identified, was flown to a trauma hospital with injuries that were serious but not life-threatening, authorities said.
