Hiker Dies After Falling 700 Feet While Trying to Take Selfie

A hiker in Arizona fell to his death this week after trying to take a selfie near the edge of a cliff. The accident happened on Monday in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix, Arizona. 21-year-old Richard Jacobson was camping with a friend at the Flatiron Trail summit in Los Dutchman State Park, when around midnight, he approached the edge of the cliff in an attempt to take a selfie with the lights of Phoenix in the background. Tragically, Jacobson lost his balance and fell over the edge to his death.
