Fortunately CHP, deputies and fire crews arrived soon after around 11:30 a.m. to complete the rescue.While CHP doesn't recommend climbing down the side of a cliff, they are grateful for the good Samaritan's quick thinking.The driver of the white Land Rover is now recovering from various head wounds at Stanford Hospital.
