Description

Toketee, Ore. – A California man was severely injured after falling approximately 40 feet while visiting Toketee Falls on Monday, resulting in a hours-long rescue involving multiple agencies.  On Monday, June 23, 2025, shortly after 1:00 p.m., a group of friends from Southern California were visiting Toketee Falls and crossed over the chain link safety fence and proceeded down approximately 200 feet to the beach area at the bottom. While taking turns jumping off a cliff into the water pool, 20-year-old Nicholas Foy of Newbury Park, California slipped and fell approximately 40 feet onto the rocks below, hitting his head.  The Sheriff’s Office along with Douglas County Search & Rescue, Glide Fire Department, Central Douglas Fire & Rescue, Umpqua Valley Ambulance and REACH Air Medical Services were dispatched to the scene and stabilized Foy.  Deputies, coordinating with the Oregon State Search and Rescue Coordinator, requested assistance from the United States Coast Guard to conduct a hoist. However, once the Coast Guard arrived on scene, it was determined they were unable to reach the patient.  Fire personnel were able to establish a rope system to extricate Foy to the trail and into a waiting ambulance around 7:18 pm. He was then transported by ground ambulance to the REACH Air Medical Services helicopter and was airlifted to PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center RiverBend in Springfield.
