Two Passengers Rescued After Vehicle Plunges 200 Feet Into Santa Clarita Ravine

Two passengers were rescued after a vehicle plunged nearly 200 feet into a Santa Clarita ravine Friday night. 

Around 11 p.m. Friday, emergency responders received reports of a solo vehicle crash off the side of Sand Canyon Road, just a mile south of Placerita Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, according to Miguel Ornelas, a dispatch supervisor with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. 

“The vehicle was found almost 200 feet over the side and landed in a ravine,” Ornelas said.

Crews from the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Santa Clarita Valley Search & Rescue Team responded to the scene to rescue the passengers using a rope rescue technique, according to officials on scene. 

The two passengers in the vehicle were transported in unknown condition, according to Ornelas.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.
