NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. - A tourist from New Hampshire will be spending the rest of his honeymoon in a cast after falling into the Niagara River just above the Horseshoe Falls.
Niagara Parks Police say the 43-year-old from Londonderry fell about three metres down a steep embankment while trying to get a picture of the falls.
The man, a paramedic, was unable to help himself as he had fractured his right leg in the fall.
Officers were able to climb down to water level and assist the victim, who was just 200 metres above the falls.
He was transported to hospital in Niagara Falls and admitted.
Sgt. John Clark says the officers last saw the man apologizing profusely to his new wife.
