Snoqualmie, WA - An 18-year-old man was injured late Monday afternoon after jumping into a river.
The incident occurred just before 3 p.m. in an area of the Tokul River near Tokul Road SE and SE 53rd Street. This is below the main Snoqualmie Falls waterfall.
The man apparently suffered leg cuts and a back injury after entering the water, according to Josie Williams with Eastside Fire & Rescue.
Swift water rescue teams had to be called in for the intricate rescue. They were able to pull the man from the river, and then used rope to lift him up an embankment to a waiting ambulance, where he was to be taken to a local hospital.
Williams says the man was conscious and alert when rescued. His name has not been released.
