Car Careens Into Ravine, Injuring Two People In RivCo: Cal Fire

BANNING, CA — Two people suffered injuries Sunday after their vehicle plunged off the roadway in Banning, landing several hundred feet down a ravine.

Shortly after 2:30 p.m., a vehicle careened from the roadway in the 8500 block of Bluff Street, according to a Cal Fire/ Riverside County Fire Department spokesperson.

Once freed from the vehicle, firefighters used a basket-and-rope rescue system to get the patients back up to the waiting ambulances, fire officials said.

One patient was taken to a hospital by ground ambulance for treatment of minor to moderate injuries, and the second was evaluated by paramedics at the scene and refused further care.

No other information was immediately available.
