SEASIDE, Ore. (AP) — A hiker has fallen to his death on Saddle Mountain.

Officials tell KATU-TV that the accident occurred after a group of hikers reached the mountain’s 3,283-foot summit Sunday.

A male member of the group in his 20s then apparently went out on a ledge to take some pictures, but lost his footing and fell more than 100 feet down a steep slope.

The first reports said that the man was injured. However, authorities said the hiker died shortly after a rescue climber was able to reach him.
