Wolfe County rope technician John May told the station the camper, a Cincinnati man whose name wasn't released, fell about 60 feet early Thursday and landed in an area with several large boulders.

He called it a "miracle" that the sleepwalker survived. May said the camper suffered a head injury, a dislocated shoulder, and a fractured leg, but he's expected to make a full recovery.
