Damn!

A young hiker was lost this weekend.

CLEVELAND, Ga. --

Officials say a teen died Saturday night after falling off a mountain while on a hiking trip with friends.

White County fire department spokeswoman Ana Newberry said the 18-year-old Elena Shaw was hiking at Yonah Mountain along with three or four teens, calling them "avid hikers."

Newberry said Shaw lost her footing and fell over 600 feet. She said the teen had "massive" internal injuries and experienced cardiac arrest before she died. The incident happened in White County 25 miles north of Gainesville.

Shaw recently graduated as salutatorian from a private school in Dahlonega.

My condolences to her friends and family.
