Rope Rescue in the Cleveland Metroparks on Monday

A rope-rescue team responded to the late Monday morning to help a teen who stumbled down the embankment.

Bob Rotatori, manager of marketing and public relations for the Metroparks, said the 16-year-old girl’s injuries were non-life threatening, but she was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The rescue began around 11 or 11:30 a.m., Rotatori said.

Brecksville's Assistant Law Director Sergio DiGeronimo said the rope rescue team is made up of a number of local fire departments, and that the emergency vehicles had gathered near the Chippewa Creek bridge and gorge in the Metroparks.
