Los Angeles, CA – Early Sunday morning, Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) and LA County Fire personnel worked together to rescue two people after their vehicle reportedly fell about 70 feet over a cliff in Kagel Canyon.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, firefighters descended the steep slope to reach and treat both victims before an LAFD helicopter arrived to safely hoist them out. The victims were then airlifted to a nearby trauma center for further medical evaluation.
The joint rescue highlighted close coordination between air and ground units from both agencies. “Exceptional teamwork in the air and on the ground from both agencies brought this incident to a safe conclusion,” LAFD officials shared in a statement Sunday morning.
No further details about the victims’ conditions have been released. Authorities have not yet stated what may have caused the vehicle to leave the roadway.
