    One hiker was killed and another was injured after a sandstone bluff along a popular northern California hiking trail gave way late Saturday.

    The collapse happened shortly before 6 p.m. local time at the Arch Rock lookout point at Point Reyes National Seashore, northwest of San Francisco. National Park Service spokesman John Dell'Osso told the San Francisco Chronicle Sunday that the hikers had embarked on an 8.2-mile hike along the Bear Valley Trail to the overlook.

    The pair fell about 70 feet and were covered with rocks and debris before being freed by passers-by. One of the hikers was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other was airlifted to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
