A MUM who survived a 30ft fall from a cliff into a gorge has been called a "medical miracle".

Keen hiker Suzanne Dyer, 50, plunged down a waterfall after she slipped from a path while walking with a friend on New Year's Day.

She suffered serious injuries to her arms, ribs, pelvis and legs and is recovering in hospital.

Her ex-husband Lindsay Bruce said: "She was very lucky to still be alive. She was hypothermic when she got to hospital so it's a medical miracle. If she landed head or feet first I think it would have been a different story."
