Dramatic video shows 2 people being rescued from car after surviving 250-foot drop into California canyon

Two people were rescued by helicopter after their car plunged more than 200 feet into a California canyon, dramatic videos showed.

The incident took place Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles County along the Angeles Forest Highway, around the 19th mile marker. A vehicle containing two people somehow went over the side of the road, falling about 250 feet down an 800-foot slope into Monkey Canyon.

Despite the drop, both patients were "ambulatory and in mild distress" when rescued by the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACFD) said on Twitter.
