Women drive over Lover’s Leap cliff, emerge safe
HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) – Two western Illinois women mistakenly drove through a wooden guard rail and over a 30 foot cliff.
But police say they were saved from a longer drop by a 3- to 4-inch thick tree and emerged from the ordeal without serious injury.
Seventy-eight-year-old Ruth Hart of Milan (MY’-luhn) and 67-year-old Nancy Strohl of Rock Island say they’re lucky to be alive after their plunge off Lover’s Leap near Hannibal, Missouri, yesterday.
Hart says she’s been to the lookout before and wanted to show Strohl the dramatic view. She says she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake in the parking area.
