Girl injured in cliff jump stunt
A teenage girl is being treated for suspected spinal injuries after jumping 30ft (9.14m) from cliffs onto rocks on the Devon coast.

Brixham Coastguards said the 14-year-old girl is believed to have jumped into the sea in Paignton as a stunt.

Coastguards at Torbay and the inshore lifeboat were called to rescue her at Armchair Rock on Saturday afternoon.

She was removed from the scene on a spinal board and taken to hospital.
