IDAHO COUNTY, Idaho – A man from Washington was rescued after falling 40 feet off a cliff near the Salmon River in Idaho County.

The 33-year-old man called deputies to report his fall, but rescue teams had difficulty locating him due to his movement from the initial reported location.

Despite efforts to find him using a helicopter, the search was unsuccessful on the first day.

The man spent the night in the cold before being found the following morning.

He was then flown to a hospital in Lewiston for treatment.
