Another woman was rescued after she fell nearly 90 feet on Nov. 16. She was airlifted to the hospital with serious injuries but is expected to survive. She was found calling for help after her brother-in-law tracked her cell phone and found it on the edge of a cliff Friday morning at the popular Loop 360 overlook.
