A 16-year-old American girl died when she stumbled and plunged more than 300 feet down an embankment while on a sightseeing walk in Switzerland, authorities said Monday. First responders who rushed to save her found the girl's lifeless body in the environs of the Trient River below a popular walking path, police in the country's Valais district said in a statement. The teenager, who was not identified, was with her best friend and the friend's family when she fell, police said.
The fall happened in the area of Gorges Mystérieuses à Tête Noire — the Mysterious Gorges of Tête-Noire — shortly after 10:30 a.m., police said. The destination, popular with international hikers, is near the border with France about 90 miles northwest of the Matterhorn alpine peak by road.
