A 45-year-old man from Detroit was located in a precarious position about 10 minutes after search teams deployed a drone in the vast and rugged San Gabriel Mountains.
About 10 to 12 minutes after launching, Clarke could see Zemplinski on the live feed displayed on the device he used to guide the drone. He was perched on a ledge on the side of the cliff."That was one of our biggest concerns, that he would fall down again fall down further, and we didn’t want that to happen," said Zemplinski.
Once they knew his location, team members lowered rescuers down to Zemplinski. He was disoriented and injured from the 300-foot tumble. "This individual would probably not survive another night in that situation," Goldsworthy said."No food, no water, in the full sun, already dehydrated, already injured."
Zemplinski is recovering at a hospital. The Detroit resident and his family told authorities he was traveling the United States, enjoying nature. It's not clear how long he was on the side of the cliff, but family members said they last heard from him on Sunday.
