Hiker killed at Eaton Canyon was 17-year-old girl

Authorities said a 17-year-old high school student was killed Friday and another was injured after four people fell from a cliff in Eaton Canyon.

Emergency responders were called about 11:30 a.m. to a cliff not far from an entrance to the Altadena park, where four people had fallen to the rocky base below.

Another hiker was airlifted to a hospital.

Two others who were on the hike and also fell were uninjured, said Los Angeles County Fire Inspector Quvondo Johnson.

“When you go up to this Eaton Canyon, be careful,� he said. “We get lots of incidents up there. It’s just a lot of hikers; a lot of them fall.�

KTLA News later identified the victim as Esther Suen, a senior at Mark Keppel High School. The others were apparently classmates.
