According to Pottenger, when rescuers arrived, all four passengers were conscious, and two children were fastened to car seats, they remained unharmed. According to officials, everyone ended up locked in a wrecked car.
While firefighters climbed down the cliff to the car, other rescuers watched through binoculars.
“We were able to see movement in the front seat through the windshield,” Pottenger said. “So we knew we had at least one person who was alive.”
The brigades freed two children and with the help of a rope lifted them to a rock in baskets. Later, a California Highway Patrol helicopter lifted the two adults to safety.
