A tourist from Canada was rescued after accidentally driving a rental car off a cliff. The 27-year-old British Columbian tourist, whose name has been released, was reportedly driving in the early morning dark on the southern tip of the Big Island and accidentally drove his rented Jeep off a cliff, but was able to swim to shore until firefighters pulled him up with a rope and a helicopter. He was treated for facial injuries and slight hypothermia after Sunday’s rescue. He had reportedly swam about a hundred yards to shore at the bottom of the cliff that fire crews estimated to be 50 to 60 feet.
