Coast Guard Helicopter Used In Boy's Bodega Bay Rescue Now Stuck
BODEGA BAY (CBS SF) - The Coast Guard helicopter that helped rescue Sebastion Johnson, the 4-year-old boy who tumbled more than 200 feet down a cliff at Bodega Head, was itself stuck after the incident.
Heavy fog forced the helicopter to land on a slope during the rescue, and the angle it's now stuck in makes it unsafe to lift off.
The Coast Guard is now devising a new plan on how to move it.
The boy's mother said her son fell off a cliff as she was walking with him on a trail, Bodega Bay Fire Protection District Fire Chief Sean Grinnell said.
He was in serious condition at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland Tuesday.
