Man With Serious Injuries Rescued From Beavertail Lighthouse

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.
