Woman dies after tripping and falling 50 feet from coastal cliff in California

A 45-year-old woman hiking on a popular coastal trail in the San Francisco Bay Area died after she tripped and fell off a cliff, authorities said. The Pacifica Police Department said the woman fell 50 feet Sunday from the top of Mori Point trail to Rockaway Beach. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The San Mateo County Coroner identified her as Yvonne Rogan, of Daly City. Witnesses said they saw Rogan trip and fall off the trail. "It does appear that it was an unfortunate accident in which a hiker had lost her footing," Pacifica Police Department Captain Bill Glasgo told CBS station KPIX. "Very seldom are these tragic incidents happen where folks are hiking in areas, where this accident occurred."
