HONOLULU (AP) — A teen has been seriously injured after falling between 60 and 80 feet at a cliff diving spot along the south shore of Oahu.

Hawaii News Now reports that officials say the 18-year-old man was at Spitting Caves with friends on Sunday when he either fell or jumped off a cliff and struck a rocky ledge as he plummeted toward the water.

Two other teens at the scene were able to pull the victim from the water.

Honolulu fire crews arrived and airlifted the victim to a nearby park where crews began life-saving measures.

The teen was stabilized and taken to a hospital in serious condition.
