Emergency crews scrambled after a massive cliff collapse shook Newquay today, leaving five people and two dogs trapped on the edge.
Five People and Two Dogs Stranded After Cliff Fall
Alarm was raised at 2.55pm on 31 January after a section of cliff near King Edward Crescent gave way. The HM Coastguard, police helicopter, and fire service launched a swift rescue operation.
Thanks to quick action, all five people and the two dogs were rescued safely from the cliff top. Miraculously, no one was hurt.
Public Footpath Shut – Safety Zone Enforced
The dangerous collapse forced authorities to close the nearby public footpath and set up a safety cordon. Locals and visitors are warned to avoid the area for their own protection.
Cornwall Council on High Alert
Cornwall Council has been notified and is keeping a close eye on the cliff’s stability and the ongoing safety measures.
