Around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday, first responders received reports of a traffic collision on the 27000 block of Brooken Avenue, said Leslie Lua, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

“We responded to reports of a vehicle on the edge of a hill over an approximately 100-foot drop,” said Lua.

The caller stated they were unable to get out of the vehicle due to fear of shifting the weight causing the vehicle to move, according to Lua.

First responders utilized the fire engine and a civilian’s pick-up truck to remove the victim’s vehicle from over the edge, according to officials on scene.

There were no reported injuries, according to Lua.

  1. I’ll tell ya, once again the LAFD comes and saves the day! They’re SO awesome! Their work shirts should have a big S on the chest because they all ARE Supermen and Women!

  2. Hey poor reporting on your job, it was not a traffic collision nor was it a 100 ft. Cliff. Get your facts right before you half hazardly report.

  3. Wait! What color or race were the people who were saved and what color or race were the saviors? We want to know!! Why are you withholding the facts?!! These people want to know!!

  4. The vehicle was hardly “dangling” as stated. Dangle definition- hang or swing loosely. This reminds me of a story a month ago of a vehicle being ‘suspended’ when it was clearly resting nose first on the ground while being held up by a cable.

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.
