A 4-year-old boy suffered "traumatic injuries" when fell down a cliff at Bodega Head in Bodega Bay this evening, a fire chief said.

The boy's mother reported that her son had fell off a cliff as she was walking with him on a trail shortly before 5 p.m., Bodega Bay Fire Protection District Fire Chief Sean Grinnell said.

Within 30 minutes of arriving on scene, rescuers descended 238 feet to a beach to reach the boy who was found conscious and crying, according to Grinnell.

Foggy conditions prevented a helicopter from arriving to the scene to airlift the boy who was instead transported by ambulance to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital, Grinnell said.

Grinnell did not have information on the boy's condition but said he suffered broken bones.

The Sonoma County Fire Department also responded to the scene.
