A man was hospitalized with serious injuries after falling down an embankment near the Beavertail Lighthouse Thursday night.
The area where the victim was - was so steep that the Jamestown Fire Department and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management took a boat out into the ocean to rescue the man in his 50s who was stuck on the rocks.
A helicopter transported the victim to a hospital for treatment of injuries which included hypothermia.
Beavertail State Park was temporarily closed during the rescue operation.
