A Canadian tourist visiting Hawaii’s Big Island walked away nearly unscathed after he drove off a 60-foot cliff and fell into the ocean. The unidentified 27-year-old was driving his rented Jeep along restricted backroads near the South Point cliff when the vehicle plunged off the cliff at around 3:30 a.m. The rental got stuck upside down on the rocks below, and when he crawled out he dropped directly into the water below him and was quickly swept away. Luckily, some local spear-fishermen camping out on the beach overnight witnessed the accident and then the man’s fall into the sea and called 911. First responders found the man floating on his back in the sea, coached him to swim toward the shore, and pulled him out. He only suffered a few facial scratches and mild hypothermia.
* …that is, until the lava flow hit the hospital.
* Hope he sprung for the rental insurance.
* Hmm … distracted taking a selfie? Making a crazy video for TikTok? Bad GPS?
* He said his next vacation will be in Australia, where it’s safe.
