Sarah Louise Crocker, 48, was hiking with four teenagers Thursday morning at Three Sisters Falls in the Cleveland National Forest, an unincorporated area of Descanso, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office described the teenagers traveling with Crocker as “family and family friends” in a news release. Crocker died of multiple blunt force injuries and drowning, and the medical examiner ruled her death as an accident. The injured teenager was taken via helicopter to a hospital for treatment of severe but non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff’s department. “The sheriff’s department does respond to multiple injuries and rescues in that area every year,” San Diego County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Lt. Jeff Ford said in a statement to CNN.
