A hiker fell Sunday while rappelling off a rock and badly hurt his leg, officials said.
The hiker was in Rockland County in the woods near Torne Valley Road when he fell about 10 feet off a rock, said Hillburn Fire Chief Shane Starr.
"He hit his pad a little too hard and he split his leg," Starr said. "He messed up his leg up pretty good."
The hiker was taken to a local hospital.
