A cliffside tumble left a man hurt alongside New Jersey's Palisades Interstate Parkway where he'd tried taking photographs Friday morning, police said.
Rescue teams were dispatched to Englewood Cliffs where the Connecticut man had visited a Mobil Service Station off the parkway to snap photos, highway police said.
Shortly after 7 a.m., the man was hurt after falling about 60 feet. He "lost his footing" and slid down the edge of the cliff, officials say.
