Firefighters rescued a man whose car went off the road in San Diego and was left dangling off a cliff.
The San Diego Fire-Rescue Department first got a call about the incident around 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Firefighters said the vehicle went through a guardrail and landed on rocks on the beach in La Jolla Cove. The SUV was left in a precarious position, its front half hanging over the edge.
“Very crazy scene,” said Tyler Mitchell, who works at Duke’s La Jolla, a restaurant nearby. Mitchell said he started watching the rescue while finishing up work at the restaurant, which looks right down at the ocean. “It was very worrisome at first because you just want to know,” Mitchell said. “I didn’t know how far it was off the edge, then I came down here and it was the front two tires off. It was a lot more nerve-wracking down at this view than up at my angle.”
