Man Injured After Going Over Embankment On Highway 126 Near Castaic

A man in his 60s was transported to the hospital Tuesday after his vehicle reportedly went over an embankment on Highway 126 near Castaic, officials said.

Around 10:50 a.m. Tuesday, first responders received reports of a white Honda CRV going over an embankment on Highway 126 near Chiquito Canyon Road in Castaic, said Sky Cornell, an inspector with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

“The man was feeling dizzy from the crash,” he said.

Officials were not able to verify how far down the embankment the vehicle went; however, a tow truck with at least 200 feet of cable was needed to retrieve the vehicle, said Josh Greengard, a spokesperson with the California Highway Patrol Newhall Office.

“The man was transported to the hospital,” Cornell said.

The condition of the victim is unknown as of Tuesday afternoon.

About Louie Diaz

Louie was born and raised in Santa Clarita. At the age of two Louie lost his vision due to a brain tumor. However, Louie doesn't let blindness stop him from doing what ever it is he wants to accomplish. Growing up some of his favorite hobbies were wood working, fishing and riding bikes. Louie graduated from College of the Canyon in December of 2017, with a Broadcast Journalism degree. Growing up Louie has always wanted to be a fire fighter or a police officer, but because of his blindness Louie knew that wouldn't work. Louie has always loved listening to police and fire radio traffic, using a scanner, and he figured if he was going to listen to the scanner so much, he should do something with it.
