OTS2[KHTS] – A woman had to be extricated from her vehicle Monday afternoon after it went over the side of Vasquez Canyon Road into a ditch.

The Sheriff’s Station Search and Rescue Team was called to assist with the incident.

The volunteer unit met with Fire Department personnel, who arrived on scene at 2:32 p.m. to assist with the woman trapped in her vehicle.

The two agencies worked together to free the woman from her SUV.

The SUV fell approximately 225 feet down the side of a cliff in Vasquez Canyon, about one mile east of Bouquet Canyon Road.

The victim was awake and alert when fire personnel arrived on scene, according to L.A. County Fire Department personnel, who said she was extricated by 2:47 p.m.

The incident was reported as a one-vehicle collision, according to a spokeswoman with the Fire Department.

    She was down much further than 225 feet. I was one of the first on scene and went down the hill and laid between the vehicle and the hill side until sheriffs and fire personal arrived.

    I have photos I would like to share.

  5. Scott Gore says:

    I believe it was a toyota 4 runner. If anyone knows the drive please message me how she is. I was one of the first to be there after she went over and was down at the car with her until the sheriff’s and fire personal arrived.

    • Scott, she is one of my best friends and my sons god mother. She is ok as far as I know. I haven’t talked to her yet. I actually just found out. But her daughter says she’s ok. I’m waiting to call her room. The doctors were in talking with her. Thanks for responding like you did.
