Two people were rescued from the cliffs at the Torrey Pines Glider Port Sunday after getting stuck above Black’s Beach, according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.<\/p>\n
Lifeguards, firefighters and a rescue helicopter responded shortly after 2:30 p.m. Saturday to the glider port at the end of Torrey Pines Scenic Drive near North Torrey Pines Road, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The circumstances leading to the rescue are unknown, but the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department told NBC 7 it involved a hang glider accident. <\/p>\n
One victim was airlifted off the cliff, while the second victim was brought to safety by a rope system. Their conditions and the extent of their injuries were not released, but both were taken to a hospital.<\/p>\n
Four lifeguard units, two fire trucks, two ambulances, a utility rig and a battalion chief took about an hour before clearing the scene, according to the SDFRD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people were rescued from the cliffs at the Torrey Pines Glider Port Sunday after getting stuck above…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276138,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,11113,76,75,21810],"class_list":["post-276137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-fire-rescue-department","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-torrey-pines"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276137\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
