A Pee Too Far
Goleta Valley, CA
It was 5 a.m. when authorities in Isla Vista received a call of an injured man stranded on the beach below Del Playa Drive. When deputies found their subject, a 20-year-old UCSB student, standing near the base of the beach bluff, blood was saturating his pant leg.
The young man, interviewed while medics made their way to the scene, told authorities how, after urinating off the bluff ledge hours earlier, he’d accidentally slipped, falling 30 feet to the rocky beach below. He landed on his knee, suffering unknown injuries.
Unable to walk on his injured leg, the young man hobbled along the beach for two hours, he said, until he had cell phone reception to call for help.
He was transported to Goleta Valley Cottage Hospital.
