Accident Victim Identified



Investigators have released the name of the Liberty University student who died Monday at Crabtree Falls in Nelson County. The accident claimed the life of 18-year-old Faith Helbig of New Jersey.
Authorities say the Liberty University freshman was hiking with other students when Helbig went off the trail and slipped on wet rocks. Helbig then fell nearly 100 feet.
There is a sign at the falls warning people to stay on the trail because of the number of people killed at Crabtree Falls, the highest waterfall in the U.S. east of the Mississippi River.
