Lincoln Woman Falls Down Ravine Near UNL Campus

lincoln-fire-departmentLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman who fell down a ravine remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Lincoln Fire and Rescue say Penny Costello was walking her dogs Thursday afternoon on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s east campus when she fell down a 20- to 30-foot ravine. The ravine leads to Dead Man’s Run creek.

Costello used her cellphone to call a friend. That friend helped direct rescue workers to the remote area.

Costello was taken to a local hospital. A spokeswoman said Friday that she’s in stable condition.
