EAST ALABAMA. (WBRC) - One person has died after a fall during a police chase near Noccalula Falls Wednesday night.
According to Gadsden Police, the department’s street crimes and narcotics unit was conducting an investigation that led to a vehicle pursuit.
Officials say the pursuit ended at the campground at Noccalula Falls by driving around the gate to enter the campground.
“They were trying any and everything to avoid our officers and eventually this is just where the pursuit terminated,” Gadsden Police say.
After the pursuit ended, officials two people exited the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle, police say, was taken into custody “after a fight”.
The passenger of the vehicle, according to authorities, ran about 20 yards before jumping over a fence while fleeing and fell 60 feet to the bottom of a gorge.
“At that point, our priority changes to a life saving situation. So, we begin to send our units down there while to try and help preserve life while activating all the other emergency units that we possibly could. Our units got down there, they did what they could for the individual, and they passed it over to Gadsden Fire from there,” officials say.

Damn. Gadsden also had a truck go off the bridge into the river just the other day too.
It is such a depressing town to drive theough.

For people unaware of what Noccallula Falls look like.
I grew up in Gadsden, hoping I don't know either of the passengers.

Legend of Noccalula
The falls are named after a Cherokee woman who, according to local legend, jumped from the 90-foot falls to avoid a forced marriage.

That county is nothing but meth heads and a tire factory. The falls are pretty though.

There’s something about those hills. They level up from rednecks to hillbillies

Cue most Louisiana people that have no clue there are hills in Alabama

Damn. I grew up just up the road in Altoona. The Gadsden Mall was one of my main hangouts in the 80s.

I had never driven through downtown Gadsden until a couple of years ago. It is a cool looking area.

Birmingham is very hilly, with coal and iron ore deposits and was founded as a steel producing city after the civil war. Birmingham is the southern terminus of the Appalachian Mountain range

Fort Payne with Little River Canyon is a beautiful area.

I'm well aware, I live here. Most Louisiana people think Alabama is flat like mobile.

Oh well. That reminds me of that Arkansas chase that ended as they tried to get back to Memphis. Ole boy just hopped the concrete barrier and fell 120' to his death. Unsure what he thought would happen but it ended on a good note.
