The unidentified man was rescued next to the overturned Land Rover that he drove over a cliff on the back roads of La Honda, the California Highway Patrol said. A passerby spotted the man and vehicle at around 11:30 a.m. about 250 feet down a cliff on a road three miles west of State Route 35, the snaking highway also known as Skyline Boulevard that runs along the ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains, CHP spokesperson Art Montiel told SFGATE in a phone interview.
The man was first reported missing by his family at 9 p.m. on Aug. 22."We don’t know what time he drove over the cliff," Montiel said. It's unknown what led the man to drive down the embankment. After the fall, he self-extracted from the car, a message posted on Cal Fire's San Mateo - Santa Cruz Unit Twitter page. Cal Fire spokesperson Cecile Narboni added that sometime in the middle of the night, he was able to get out of the car and crawl about 30 feet, but he wasn't able to move beyond that point.
